Question: are hydrocortisone and betamethasone the same?
Answer: Secondly, emphasise that all steroids are not of the same potency: clobetasone (Eumovate) is five times more potent than hydrocortisone and betamethasone (Betnovate) is five times more potent than clobetasone, and clobetasol (Dermovate) is more potent again.
