Betaderm 0 1

cream for skin. What is it? ## Betaderm contains the active ingredient Betamethasone. Betamethasone is a moderately potent glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Unlike other drugs with these effects, betamethasone does not cause water retention. It is applied as a topical cream, ointment, foam, lotion or gel to treat itching (e.g. from eczema). For more details you can see: Actually, I was under the impression that the brand Betaderm was discontinued (according to the FDA site) [1], but if you were able to get a prescription for it then I guess not. Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do... [1]

I live in San Antonio TX and have checked every way I can think of Please help me ## Hi, Eloise! How are you? Betaderm contains the active ingredient Betamethasone, which is a steroid class medication. That means that in the U.S., even in a topical cream, it can only be obtained from your pharmacy with a doctor's prescription. There tend to be some serious risks associated with using them, such as fluid retention, elevated blood pressure and compromised immunity, so they are regulated here. Learn more Betamethasone details here. The other active ingredients in some countries include Clobetasol, Gentamicin and Neomycin.
