Apply Betnovate thinly and only to affected areas. Avoid prolonged use, as this increases the risk of side effects.
Skin thinning (atrophy) is a possibility with long-term use. You may notice changes in skin color or texture. This is more likely with potent steroids like Betnovate.
Burning or stinging sensations can occur immediately after application. If these are severe, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
Infections may be masked or worsened by Betnovate. Stop using the cream and seek medical advice if an infection develops or worsens.
Stretch marks (striae) can appear, particularly with prolonged use on the face or in areas with thin skin. This is a common side effect of topical corticosteroids.
Acne or rosacea may worsen with Betnovate application. If you have these conditions, discuss your treatment options with a dermatologist.
Avoid applying Betnovate to open wounds or broken skin.
Keep Betnovate out of reach of children. Accidental ingestion can be harmful.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding application frequency and duration. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting Betnovate treatment.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience allergic reactions such as severe itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
