Betaderm contains the active ingredient Betamethasone.

Betamethasone is a moderately potent glucocorticoid steroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Unlike other drugs with these effects, betamethasone does not cause water retention. It is applied as a topical cream, ointment, foam, lotion or gel to treat itching (e.g. from eczema).

Actually, I was under the impression that the brand Betaderm was discontinued (according to the FDA site) [1], but if you were able to get a prescription for it then I guess not.

Do you have any other questions or information to add? Please post back if you do...
