Betagenic Cream is a topical treatment that combines anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action for skin conditions where inflammation and bacterial infection occur together, such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. It contains betamethasone dipropionate (a potent corticosteroid) and gentamicin (a broad-spectrum antibiotic), and is affordable in Pakistan at around Rs. 90-100 for a 15g tube.

How Betagenic Cream Works

Betamethasone dipropionate calms the skin's overactive response to irritation, reducing redness, swelling and itching. Gentamicin kills bacteria and stops them spreading, which helps with infections like impetigo. Together they treat both the infection and the inflammation that comes with it.

Key Benefits

Manages eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and other localised skin issues.
Combats bacterial infections such as impetigo.
Soothes redness, swelling and itching.
Supports healing and helps minimise scarring.
