Mediven 0.1% Betamethasone Valerate Ointment - 15g Tube
Chronic, dry skin disorders like psoriasis and thickened, leathery eczema (lichenification) require an occlusive medication that penetrates deep into hard skin layers. Mediven 0.1% Ointment combines potent anti-inflammatory Betamethasone with a protective paraffin ointment base. It locks in natural skin moisture while actively suppressing inflammatory pathways, softening thick scales and easing chronic itching.
How to Use / Operate
Apply a thin layer to dry, scaly skin areas once or twice daily as prescribed. Rub in gently. Best applied after bathing when skin is slightly hydrated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mediven Ointment used for?
It is an anti-inflammatory ointment used to treat dry, thickened, scaly skin conditions including psoriasis, lichen simplex, and chronic eczema.
How does an ointment differ from a cream?
Ointments are oil-rich and occlusive, making them ideal for dry, scaly skin, whereas creams are water-based and better for weeping or moist lesions.
