You should use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Betapic-G Cream works

Betapic-G Cream is a combination of three medicines: Beclometasone and Fusidic Acid which treat skin infections. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine.

It stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Quick tips

Betapic-G Cream helps treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis that are also infected by bacteria.
It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after two weeks of treatment.
Do not use it for longer than prescribed as prolonged or repeated use can cause the skin to become over-sensitive to the medicine and may also result in the bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic.
