Description

What is Fucibet Cream?

Fucibet Cream is a combination medication used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that have become infected with bacteria. It contains fusidic acid, an antibiotic, and betamethasone, a potent corticosteroid, to reduce inflammation and eliminate bacteria.

How Does Fucibet Cream Work?

Fucibet cream contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid and betamethasone. The drug uses a dual-mode effect to treat skin conditions. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that fights infection. It inhibits the growth of the protein that makes bacteria multiply. In the absence of the protein, bacteria seizes to spread. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid. It is applied topically; it penetrates inside the skin cells, reducing the release of inflammatory-causing substances. This decreases the associated redness, crusty skin, swelling, and sore skin, relieving the discomfort.

Warnings

The cream is unsuitable for you if you have the below conditions:

  • Are allergic to any of its ingredients.
  • Are allergic to steroid medicines.
  • Have syphilis or tuberculosis.
  • Have acne or perioral dermatitis.
  • Have bacteria or a viral infection other than on the skin.
  • Fucibet cream should not be used on the scalp, or areas of the skin infected by anything other than eczema or dermatitis.

  • Apply Fucibet to the affected areas twice daily.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
  • Leave Fucibet cream to soak in for 30 minutes before applying other lotions, ointments, or creams to ensure it is fully absorbed and not diluted.
