Description
Betagenic Cream is a combination of Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05% w/w) and Gentamicin Sulphate (0.1% w/w), designed to address a wide range of skin conditions. It combines the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties of Betamethasone with the potent antibacterial action of Gentamicin, making it effective against both inflammation and secondary infections.
This cream is particularly useful for treating corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses such as psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, and other skin conditions complicated by bacterial infections. Betagenic Cream effectively reduces itching, redness, and swelling while targeting harmful skin bacteria like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus strains.

Possible Side Effects:

FAQs
Is Betagenic Cream available without a prescription?
No. Betagenic Cream contains Betamethasone Dipropionate (a potent corticosteroid) and Gentamicin Sulphate (an antibiotic). It is a prescription-only (Rx) medicine requiring a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
What skin conditions does Betagenic Cream treat?
Betagenic Cream is indicated for corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrhoeic dermatitis, eczema, stasis dermatitis, neurodermatitis, dyshidrosis, and lichen planus — particularly where secondary bacterial infection is present or suspected.
What bacteria does Gentamicin Sulphate target?
Gentamicin Sulphate is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus species, which are the most common causes of secondary skin infections.
Can prolonged use of Betagenic Cream cause skin thinning?
Yes. The Betamethasone Dipropionate component is a potent corticosteroid. Prolonged or excessive use can cause skin atrophy (thinning), stretch marks, and in rare cases adrenal suppression. Always use for the duration prescribed by your dermatologist only.
Is Betagenic Cream safe during pregnancy?
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should only occur under strict medical supervision. Inform your dermatologist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting treatment.
