Betaderm Z Cream 30 gm is used to treat psoriasis and dermatitis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Dermatitis is generally known as skin inflammation which is characterised by red, itchy, and swollen skin.
Betaderm Z Cream 30 gm is a combination of two medicines, namely: Betamethasone and Zinc sulphate. Betamethasone works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Zinc sulphate acts as an antiseptic. Together, Betaderm Z Cream 30 gm helps in treating psoriasis and dermatitis.
