Beteflam (BAY-teh-flam, betamethasone valerate 0.1%) is a new corticosteroid PATCH to treat plaque psoriasis in adults.

Think of Beteflam patch as an alternative to a topical corticosteroid plus an occlusive dressing. The patch acts like an occlusive dressing to enhance the absorption of the steroid.

Use its brand name to remember Beteflam's ingredient and mechanism of action...betamethasone reduces inflammation.
