Betacap 0.1% Solution is a topical scalp application used to manage inflammatory scalp conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It contains betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid that delivers targeted anti-inflammatory action to relieve itching, redness, and flaking. The solution format is specifically designed for use on the scalp, allowing direct access through the hair to the affected skin.

How It Works
Betamethasone valerate suppresses the immune responses in the skin that trigger inflammation. It reduces the production of substances that cause swelling, redness, and itching. The solution penetrates the scalp efficiently, especially in hairy areas, and dries quickly after application without leaving a greasy residue. Regular use helps to calm flare-ups and maintain remission in chronic scalp disorders.

Why Choose Betacap Solution
Betacap is well-suited for patients who prefer a non-ointment formulation for scalp treatment. Its alcohol-based solution spreads easily and evaporates quickly, leaving no residue in the hair. It is an effective option for patients experiencing flare-ups of psoriasis or dermatitis confined to the scalp and is often chosen when other treatments fail to penetrate thick hair. The product is easy to apply with a precision nozzle for targeted use.

Important Note
Betacap should only be used on the scalp and must not be applied to broken skin or near the eyes. It is not suitable for use on the face or other areas unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider. Prolonged use or over-application can lead to skin thinning, irritation, or suppression of adrenal function. Treatment should be limited to the shortest duration necessary, and any worsening of symptoms should be assessed by a doctor. It is flammable due to its alcohol content, so should be kept away from flames or heat sources during and after application.
