Safely Buy Valisone Scalp Lotion ( Betamethasone ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Valisone Scalp Lotion is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis, allergies, and rash. It contains the active ingredient betamethasone valerate, which is a medium-strength corticosteroid that helps reduce swelling, itching, and redness associated with these conditions.

Use and Dosage

Use betamethasone cream, gel, ointment, lotion, foam, or spray exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets.

Do not take it by mouth. Topical medicine is for use only on the skin. Do not use on open wounds or sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Rinse with water if this medicine gets in your eyes or mouth.

Read and carefully follow any Instructions for Use provided with your medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand these instructions.

Wash your hands before and after using this medicine unless you are using the medicine to treat the skin on your hands.

Apply a small amount to the affected area and rub it gently into the skin. Do not apply betamethasone cream, gel, ointment, lotion, foam, or spray over a large area of skin.

Do not cover the treated skin area unless your doctor tells you to. Covering treated areas can increase the amount of medicine absorbed through your skin and may cause harmful effects.

Use betamethasone regularly to get the most benefit. Stop using the medicine once your symptoms clear up.

Call your doctor if your skin condition does not improve after 2 weeks, or if it gets worse.

Do not use Diprolene for longer than 2 weeks in a row. Do not use Sernivo or Luxiq for longer than 4 weeks.
