FAQs:
Q. How to use Betavent C Cream?
Betavent C Cream should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of Betavent C Cream to cover the affected areas.

Q. What precautions should I take while using Betavent C Cream?
Do not use Betavent C Cream for longer periods of time than advised especially on the face as it may cause thinning of the skin. If it has to be applied over the eyelids, make sure it does not get into your eyes. Unless told by your doctor, do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side-effects.
