Frequently asked questions

Does Betaclo 0.05% Cream cause severe skin reactions?
Severe skin reactions are rare with Betaclo 0.05% Cream. This topical corticosteroid is used for treating inflammatory skin conditions and eczemas, but potential side effects like skin irritation can occur in those hypersensitive to the medication.

If you experience any skin reactions, contact your doctor immediately.
Can Betaclo 0.05% Cream be used on the face?
Betaclo 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use on the face or other body areas that are prone to atrophy (wasting of tissues) including the armpits, groin, and underarms. It is crucial to avoid using Betaclo 0.05% Cream in these sensitive regions. Additionally, applying Betaclo 0.05% Cream to the face for extended periods should be strictly limited (maximum 5 days). Consult your doctor before any application on the face.
Can we use Betaclo 0.05% Cream in children?
Betaclo 0.05% Cream is not recommended for use in infants less than one year of age. It is also not advised for use in older children and adolescents due to an increased risk of side effects in these groups. In the pediatric population, there is a higher risk of suppressed immune system function which can make children more susceptible to other diseases and skin atrophy. Therefore, it's generally not recommended. However, consult your doctor for rare cases where therapy might be considered.
Can I stop taking Betaclo 0.05% Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not discontinue Betaclo 0.05% Cream prematurely. Complete the prescribed course even if you experience symptom relief. Stopping Betaclo 0.05% Cream before finishing your treatment may cause a return of your symptoms.
Does Betaclo 0.05% Cream cause dangerous skin reactions?
Local skin reactions are rare with Betaclo 0.05% Cream. This topical corticosteroid is used for treating inflammatory skin conditions and eczemas, but skin irritation can occur in people who are hypersensitive to the medication. It is essential to allow for proper airflow at the affected area after applying Betaclo 0.05% Cream to minimize risk of irritation. Using occlusive dressings can worsen reactions by trapping moisture, leading to potential skin complications. If experiencing any skin side effects, consult your doctor immediately.
