Product introduction

Becloderm Cream belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It is used for the treatment of skin disorders such as dermatitis and psoriasis. It relieves swelling, itching, and redness of the skin by suppressing the release of substances that cause inflammation.

Becloderm Cream is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as directed by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area and apply it thinly and evenly over the area. You should not use it too often and more than what your doctor has prescribed. Avoid covering the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

The most common side effects of this medicine include burning, irritation, itching, redness at the site of application. These are usually temporary and improve with time. However, if they persist or get worse you should let your doctor know. Before using the medicine, consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of Becloderm Cream

Benefits of Becloderm Cream

In Skin conditions with inflammation & itching

Becloderm Cream is effective in treating skin conditions with inflammation and itching such as dermatitis. It works by reducing the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation of the skin. When used correctly it is a safe and effective treatment. It reduces the redness, rash, pain, or itchiness caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. It thus improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes.

You should always use the cream or ointment as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

In Treatment of Asthma

Becloderm Cream works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in the lungs. It is known as a “preventer” and is used to prevent the symptoms of asthma, such as tightness in chest, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing. This allows you to carry out daily life activities more easily and confidently. This drug does not stop an asthma attack that has already started. To control an ongoing asthma attack, use a “reliever” inhaler. Inhaled medicines will not work properly if the inhaler is not used correctly. Ask the nurse or doctor for the right technique.

Homeopathy
Dear sir as your case is a chronic case it requires long case taking, examination and regular follow up, therefore, please visit a homeopath so that he can examine you and guide you accordingly.
Coughing for last 2 weeks and cold as well. Hello Doctor. My son is 2 years 4 months old. For last one month he has been catching cold very frequently. Worse is it causes a lot of coughing. He has been coughing for last 2 weeks though we gave him tyxilix cough syrup for one week but cough hasn't gone. He is still coughing a lot. Should we see a doctor?
Dr. Gopal Bansilal Samdani
Paediatrics
?Your child may be suffering from Asthama. Asthma can be hard to diagnose. Your child's doctor will consider the nature and frequency of symptoms and may use tests to rule out other conditions and to identify the most likely cause of his or her symptoms. A number of childhood conditions can have symptoms similar to those caused by asthma. To make things more complicated, these conditions also commonly co-occur with asthma. So your child's doctor will have to determine whether your child's symptoms are caused by asthma, a condition other than asthma, or both asthma and another condition.
