How Betnovate-N Cream works
Betnovate-N Cream contains Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation by blocking the production of chemical messengers like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These messengers cause redness, swelling, and itching in the skin. By blocking them, Betamethasone calms the skin and relieves irritation. Neomycin is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from producing essential proteins. Without these proteins, bacteria cannot grow or multiply. This dual action helps clear bacterial infections while reducing the inflammatory symptoms. Using the cream as directed ensures effective infection control and helps the skin heal smoothly without further damage.
