How Betavate CL works
Betavate CL is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Clotrimazole which treat skin infections. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
Quick Tips
- You have been prescribed Betavate CL for the treatment of fungal skin infections.
- It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
- Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
- If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Betavate CL and consult your doctor.
- Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment.

Contraindication
Patients who are sensitive to clotrimazole, betamethasone dipropionate, other corticosteroids or imidazoles, or to any ingredient in these preparations.
Mode of Action
Betamethasone is a corticosteroid with mainly glucocorticoid activity. It prevents and controls inflammation by controlling the rate of protein synthesis, depressing the migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and fibroblasts, and reversing capillary permeability and lysosomal stabilisation.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent that binds to phospholipids in the fungal cell membrane. It causes loss of essential intracellular components by altering cell wall permeability.
Precaution
Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids can produce reversible hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression with the potential for glucocorticosteroid insufficiency after withdrawal of treatment. Manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria can also be produced in some patients by systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids while on treatment. Conditions which augment systemic absorption include use over large surface areas, prolonged use, and use under occlusive dressings. If HPA axis suppression is noted, an attempt should be made to withdraw the drug, to reduce the frequency of application, or to substitute a less potent corticosteroid. Pediatric patients may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity...

Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy There are no available data on topical betamethasone dipropionate or clotrimazole use in pregnant women to identify drug associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes; observational studies suggest an increased risk of low birthweight infants with use of potent or very potent topical corticosteroid during pregnancy Advise pregnant women that therapy may increase risk of having a low birthweight infant and to use drug on the smallest area of skin and for shortest duration possible Animal data In an animal reproduction study, betamethasone dipropionate caused malformations (ie, umbilical hernias, cephalocele, and cleft palate)...
