How BETnovate - S Products work
Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 and Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid2 which treat eczema and psoriasis. Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid2 is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 into the skin.
