Betnovate-N Cream is used to treat various bacterial skin infections. It contains Betamethasone and Neomycin, which stop the growth of bacteria and block the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It may cause common side effects such as itching, dryness, and a burning sensation at the application site. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
