Betavent C

Betavent C Cream should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of Betavent C Cream to cover the affected areas. The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using Betavent C Cream unless it is used for treating infection of the hands. Avoid contact with the eyes.

Do not use Betavent C Cream for longer periods of time than advised especially on the face as it may cause thinning of the skin. If it has to be applied over the eyelids, make sure it does not get into your eyes. Unless told by your doctor, do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side-effects. This medicine should only be used by the patient and never be given to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.

The dosage and duration of using Betavent C Cream should be strictly according to the doctor’s advice. This medicine when used in higher doses and for longer periods can get absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Its application can cause a change in color of skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible because of the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could also be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.

No, do not stop using Betavent C Cream and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
