Mechanism of action
Betamethasone valerate is a potent synthetic glucocorticoid that exerts anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects. It works by reducing the formation, release, and activity of endogenous chemical mediators of inflammation such as kinins, histamine, and prostaglandins, thereby mitigating skin swelling and discomfort.

Pregnancy: Consult a specialist before use. Breastfeeding: Avoid application to the chest area to prevent ingestion by the infant.
Betamethasone valerate is a potent topical corticosteroid. It calms the itching, redness, scaling and swelling of eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis. This is the 0.1% cream; the original brand is Betnovate.
Apply a thin, even film to the affected skin and rub it in gently, and do not wrap or bandage the area unless your doctor tells you to. Your skin should improve within the first 2 weeks; if it does not, tell your doctor (MedlinePlus).
