Ingredients & How They Work

Betamethasone Valerate 0.1% → a strong corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by suppressing immune response and inflammatory mediator release in the skin. It helps calm overactive skin reactions and provides fast relief from swelling and irritation.

Neomycin Sulphate 0.5% → a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping eliminate or prevent secondary bacterial infection in damaged or inflamed skin.

Together, these two ingredients provide dual action: anti-inflammatory + antibacterial effect for infected skin flare-ups.

How to Use

Apply a thin layer to the affected area 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Gently rub until absorbed. Use only on affected skin and avoid long-term continuous use due to steroid strength.
