Betnovate Scalp Application Dosage/Direction for Use

Adults, Children (>1 year) and Elderly: A small quantity should be applied to the scalp at night and in the morning until improvement is noticeable. It may then be possible to sustain improvement by applying once a day or less frequently.
Elderly: Clinical studies have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. The greater frequency of decreased hepatic or renal function in the elderly may delay elimination if systemic absorption occurs. Therefore, the minimum quantity should be used for the shortest duration to achieve the desired clinical benefit.
Renal/Hepatic Impairment: In case of systemic absorption (when application is over a large surface area for a prolonged period) metabolism and elimination may be delayed therefore, increasing the risk of systemic toxicity. Therefore, the minimum quantity should be used for the shortest duration to achieve the desired clinical benefit.
Administration: Due to the flammable nature of Betnovate, patients should avoid smoking or being near to an open flame during application and immediately after use.
