INDICATIONS: Betacin-N is a combination medication containing betamethasone and neomycin, used topically to treat various skin conditions. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that alleviates inflammation by suppressing the immune response, while Neomycin is an antibiotic that eliminates bacteria. This combination helps control bacterial infections on the skin while reducing inflammation and itching. It is commonly prescribed for inflammatory conditions such as eczema, dermatitis or psoriasis, and also to prevent infection in cuts and wounds. The cream should be applied sparingly twice daily to thoroughly cleansed affected areas only under medical supervision. As with most topical steroids, prolonged use must be avoided due to possible adverse effects for patients, including skin thinning or increased susceptibility to infections. Overall it provides swift relief from itching and discomfort associated with many common dermatological conditions of the skin’s superficial layer, especially due to its dual-action formula.
