Description:

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid available in cream form. A cream containing 0.05% betamethasone has demonstrated effectiveness in treating phimosis in boys and may often prevent the need for circumcision. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that exerts its antibacterial effect by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required for bacterial survival.

Indications and Usage:

Betamethasone Valerate and Neomycin Skin Cream serves as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ointment for ophthalmic use. This ophthalmic ointment is indicated for steroid-responsive inflammatory ocular conditions where a corticosteroid is warranted and where there is a risk of bacterial infection. It is effective in treating conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin disorders characterized by a flat, itchy, violet rash, typically found on the wrists, shins, lower back, and genitals.
