Beta-F Cream: Your Solution for Skin Inflammation and Infections

 Composition:

 Each Beta-F Cream gram contains Betamethasone (as Betamethasone Valerate BP)  1 mg (0.1% w/w)

 Fusidic Acid BP  20 mg (2% w/w)

 Pharmacological Properties

 Mechanism of Action:

 Betamethasone: It exerts anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions, inhibiting the adherence of immune cells to inflamed areas

 Fusidic Acid: A potent topical antibacterial that blocks protein synthesis in bacteria, effective against a wide range of pathogens, especially Staphylococci

 Indications

 Beta-F combines the anti-inflammatory effects of betamethasone with the antibacterial action of fusidic acid, making it suitable for treating:

•  eczematous dermatoses, including atopic, infantile, discoid, and stasis eczema
•  Psoriasis
•  Neurodermatosis (e.g., lichen simplex, lichen planus).
•  Seborrhoeic dermatitis
•  Prurigo
•  Intertrigo
•  Bacterial infections confirmed or suspected

 Dosage and Administration

 Apply a small quantity of BetaF Cream to the affected area twice daily until a satisfactory response is achieved. Treatment typically lasts up to 2 weeks, and occlusion with polyethylene film can enhance effectiveness in resistant lesions

 Pharmacokinetics

 The absorption and metabolism of betamethasone are influenced by factors such as skin condition and application site. Fusidic acid is primarily excreted in the bile and minimally in the urine. There is no defined pharmacokinetic data for Beta-F following topical administration in humans

 Contraindications

 Avoid Beta-F Cream if there is known hypersensitivity to betamethasone valerate or fusidic acid/sodium fusidate

 Adverse Effects

 The application of Beta-F Cream may cause localized adverse effects such as burning, stinging, dry skin, pruritus, and irritation. While occlusion can enhance the cream’s effectiveness, it’s crucial to be cautious about potential side effects

 Storage:

Store Beta-F Cream below 30°C, protected from light, heat, and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children

 Beta-F Cream is a versatile solution for inflammatory skin conditions with added antibacterial potency to aid in the treatment of skin infections. Always follow your physician’s recommendations for usage and duration
