HOE Benosone (Betamethasone) Cream 15g

HOE Benosone Cream belongs to the topical corticosteroid class of medicines and contains betamethasone valerate as its active ingredient. If you've been prescribed this cream, it's worth knowing that it's meant for short-term use on the skin, and your doctor will advise how long your specific treatment should last. Some people experience side effects such as burning, itching, skin thinning, or stretch marks with prolonged or excessive use. This cream is available only with a prescription, and using more than directed or over large areas of skin isn't recommended, as it could increase the risk of side effects. Always let your doctor know if you're using it on a child, as their skin can absorb topical steroids more readily.

For adults, the cream is generally applied once to three times daily depending on the severity of the condition, while children are usually advised to apply it once daily. Always follow your doctor's specific instructions for frequency and duration.

• Burning or stinging sensation
• Itching
• Skin thinning with prolonged use
• Stretch marks (striae)
• Lightening of skin colour at the application site
• Acne-like eruptions (uncommon)
• Increased hair growth at the site (uncommon)
• Visible blood vessels on the skin (rare)

Store the cream at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture, with the cap tightly closed after use. Keep out of reach of children.

• Apply a thin layer only; using more will not speed up results.
• Avoid prolonged use on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed by your doctor.
• Do not use occlusive dressings over the cream unless instructed.
• Store below 30°C, away from sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.

HOE Benosone Cream is applied as a thin film to the affected area of skin, gently rubbed in until absorbed. Wash your hands before and after application, unless the hands are the area being treated.

HOE Benosone Cream typically has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

The active ingredient in HOE Benosone Cream is Betamethasone Valerate 0.12%, a topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects.
