Benefits of Betlon Lotion
Skin conditions with inflammation & itching
Betlon Lotion is effective in treating skin conditions with inflammation and
itching such as dermatitis. It works by reducing the actions of chemicals in
the body that cause inflammation of the skin. When used correctly it is a safe
and effective treatment. It reduces the redness, rash, pain, or itchiness
caused by your skin’s reaction to an irritant. It thus improves your self-
esteem and confidence as your appearance changes.
You should always use the cream or ointment as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.
Treatment of Asthma
Betlon Lotion works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in the
lungs. It is known as a “preventer” and is used to prevent the symptoms of
asthma, such as tightness in chest, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing.
This allows you to carry out daily life activities more easily and
confidently. This drug does not stop an asthma attack that has already
started. To control an ongoing asthma attack, use a “reliever” inhaler.
Inhaled medicines will not work properly if the inhaler is not used correctly.
Ask the nurse or doctor for the right technique.
