Betavate-CL Ointment 0.1% + 1% is a topical combination medicine containing Betamethasone (0.1%) and Clotrimazole (1%). It is specially formulated to treat inflammatory fungal skin infections by providing both antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects. This dual-action therapy helps relieve itching, redness, swelling, and irritation while effectively eliminating the underlying fungal infection.

The ointment base ensures better penetration into the affected area and is particularly suitable for dry, scaly, or thickened skin lesions.

Composition

• Betamethasone 0.1%

• Clotrimazole 1%

Mechanism of Action

Betavate-CL works through the combined effects of its two active ingredients:

Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching by suppressing the release of inflammatory substances in the skin.

Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This leads to the destruction of fungal cells and resolution of infection.

Together, these ingredients provide rapid symptomatic relief while treating the root cause of fungal skin infections.

Indications

Betavate-CL Ointment is indicated for:

• Ringworm (Tinea corporis)

• Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis)

• Jock itch (Tinea cruris)

It is particularly beneficial in cases where fungal infections are associated with marked inflammatory symptoms.
