About Betzee Cream

Betzee Cream is used to treat eczema, contact dermatitis and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy.

Betzee Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Zinc. Betamethasone is a steroid and anti-inflammatory agent that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy). It also helps to reduce immune response, thereby controlling inflammation. Zinc acts as an antiseptic (prevents microbe's growth) and astringent (contracts the skin cells) on the skin.

Betzee Cream is for external (for skin) use only. You should use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Betzee Cream are redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, and blistering at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Betzee Cream if you are allergic to any contents of it or developed any skin irritation or other reaction to steroids in the past. Before taking Betzee Cream, inform your doctor if you have skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) at the treatment site, diabetes, adrenal gland problems, liver problems and eye problems such as cataract (clouding of the eye) or glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye). Betzee Cream should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Betzee Cream is not recommended for use in children below 13 years of age. Betzee Cream should be used with caution in elderly patients. Betzee Cream may not affect your ability to drive.

Drug Warnings

Betzee Cream is for topical (skin) use only but is not recommended for use on larger areas of skin. It would be best if you did not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster, especially the face, without checking with your doctor. Do not use the medicine in and around your eyes. If the medicine accidentally gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or genitals, rinse with water thoroughly. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice swelling or weight gain around the trunk or in the face, as it may be a sign of Cushing’s syndrome (high levels of cortisol in the body). Please do not use this medicine for longer than recommended by your doctor as it may suppress adrenal gland function and may increase the risk of vision problems.

If you notice any persistent skin irritation or worsening of the skin disease, stop using Betzee Cream and inform your doctor immediately.
