What is Betamethasone & Neomycin Cream?

Betamethasone & Neomycin cream is used to treat:

  • Contact sensitivity reactions
  • Dermatitis
  • Eczema
  • Insect bite reactions
  • Lichen planus
  • Lichen simplex
  • Psoriasis

The cream is prescribed when a secondary bacterial skin infection is present or suspected to occur alongside another skin condition.

Betamethasone & Neomycin cream is stronger than hydrocortisone creams, and is indicated to treat conditions that other steroid-based creams and ointments have not treated.

It is available on prescription as a cream or ointment. You can get a private prescription for Betamethasone & Clioquinol cream through our online service. To begin your order, simply complete our online medical form for one of our prescribers to review.

How does Betamethasone & Neomycin Cream work?

Betamethasone & Neomycin skin preparations contain a corticosteroid called Betamethasone, and an antibiotic called Neomycin.

Betamethasone reduces redness, swelling, and itching of the skin, while Neomycin kills bacteria on the skin responsible for infection.

How long does Betamethasone & Neomycin Cream take to work?

A treatment course of 7 to 10 days with Betamethasone & Neomycin cream is usually enough to improve symptoms such as flare-ups of red, inflamed, and irritated skin. Talk to your GP if signs of skin infection do not improve.
