Introduction
VALERATE N CREAM Cream is a medication that contains two active ingredients: Betamethasone and Neomycin. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching, while Neomycin is an antibiotic that fights against bacteria. This combination of ingredients makes VALERATE N CREAM Cream effective in treating a variety of skin conditions.
Uses
VALERATE N CREAM Cream is prescribed to treat inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It helps relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, and swelling. The cream is also used to prevent or treat secondary bacterial skin infections that may occur in conjunction with these conditions.
Dosage and Administration
Before applying VALERATE N CREAM Cream, clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin once or twice a day, as directed by your healthcare professional. Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Be careful to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes.
Mechanism of Action
Betamethasone in VALERATE N CREAM Cream works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances in the body, thereby helping to alleviate redness, itching, and swelling associated with skin conditions. Neomycin, on the other hand, acts as an antibiotic and helps prevent or treat bacterial infections that may be present on the skin.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include skin irritation, burning, or itching at the application site. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare professional. Serious side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
