Betnovate S Ointment contains two active ingredients: betamethasone and salicylic acid.

• Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces redness, itching, and swelling by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body.
• Salicylic acid breaks down skin protein keratin, removing dead cells, softening skin, and aiding betamethasone absorption.
