FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM

How FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM Works

• Fusidic acid stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow, by blocking a step called translocation on the bacterial ribosome. It penetrates skin well and acts against staphylococci and streptococci.
• Betamethasone valerate enters skin cells and switches off the signals that cause inflammation. This reduces redness, swelling and itching. Together, the two ingredients control the eczema flare and clear the infection that often makes eczema worse. Because the steroid also dampens the skin's local defences, the cream is used only for short courses.

Itching, burning, stinging or irritation at the application site can occur, especially at first. Allergic contact dermatitis can occur, with worsening redness, itching or blistering. The cream should then be stopped. Using a potent steroid for too long, over large areas, under dressings or on thin skin can cause skin thinning, stretch marks, visible small blood vessels, lighter patches, acne-like spots and increased hair growth. Enough steroid can occasionally be absorbed to affect the body's own hormones, especially in children. Long or repeated use of fusidic acid can lead to resistant bacteria.

• If you forget to apply FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM at the scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed application and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Store the tube tightly closed in a cool place, and follow the storage instruction printed on the current pack. Keep it out of the reach of children, and do not use it after the expiry date.

• Use it only for the time the doctor prescribes, usually no more than 2 weeks
• Apply a thin layer to the affected area only
• Keep it away from the eyes
• Do not use it on fungal infections, cold sores or acne
• Keep using a moisturiser to protect the skin
• See a doctor if the rash spreads or keeps returning

• No food interactions are expected, since the cream is applied to the skin.
