FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM

How FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM Works

• FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM is a combination medicine containing fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It achieves this by interfering with the bacterial protein synthesis, which is crucial for bacteria to multiply and thrive. Specifically, fusidic acid inhibits the translocation step during protein synthesis, effectively preventing the bacteria from producing essential proteins.
• Betamethasone valerate is a corticosteroid, a type of steroid medicine that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness. It works by suppressing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation. When applied topically, betamethasone valerate constricts blood vessels, reduces swelling, and inhibits the migration of inflammatory cells to the affected area. This helps to relieve the symptoms associated with various skin conditions.
• The combination of fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate in FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM offers a dual action: it treats bacterial infections and reduces inflammation simultaneously. This makes it particularly useful for treating skin conditions that are both infected and inflamed, such as infected eczema, dermatitis, and other similar conditions. By targeting both the infection and the inflammation, FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM helps to alleviate symptoms, promote healing, and prevent the spread of infection.
• When applied to the skin, both active ingredients penetrate the skin layers to reach the site of infection and inflammation. The fusidic acid targets the bacteria present, while betamethasone valerate reduces the inflammatory response. This synergistic action helps to resolve the condition more effectively than using either ingredient alone. Regular and consistent application, as directed by a healthcare professional, is essential to ensure the complete eradication of the infection and the resolution of inflammation.

• 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.

• Keep FUCIBET CREAM 15GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store FUCIBET CREAM 15GM at room temperature.

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Fucibet Cream. This helps prevent the spread of infection and ensures the cream works effectively on the affected area.
• Apply a thin layer of Fucibet Cream to the affected area as directed by your doctor, usually two to three times daily. Avoid applying a thick layer, as this will not make the treatment more effective and may increase the risk of side effects. Gently rub the cream in until it disappears.
• Use Fucibet Cream for the full duration prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve before the course is finished. Stopping treatment early can lead to the infection recurring or becoming resistant to antibiotics. Typically, treatment lasts for one to two weeks.
• Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings or bandages unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Occlusive dressings can increase absorption of the medication and raise the risk of side effects. If a dressing is necessary, use a light, breathable gauze.
• Inform your doctor about any other medications or creams you are currently using, including over-the-counter products. Certain medications can interact with Fucibet Cream, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Also, let your doctor know if you have any allergies, especially to fusidic acid, betamethasone, or other corticosteroids.
• Fucibet Cream is for external use only. Avoid getting it in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not swallow the cream.
• If your symptoms do not improve after a week of using Fucibet Cream, or if they worsen, consult your doctor. It is important to ensure the infection is responding to the treatment and to rule out any other underlying conditions.
• Store Fucibet Cream at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the cream if it has expired or if the tube is damaged.
• While using Fucibet Cream, minimize exposure of the treated area to sunlight or UV radiation. Betamethasone, a component of Fucibet, can increase sensitivity to sunlight.
• Be aware of potential side effects, such as burning, itching, or irritation at the application site. If these effects are severe or persistent, contact your doctor. More serious side effects are rare but should be reported immediately.

• There are no known interactions between FUCIBET CREAM 15 GM and food. This medicine is for external use only and is unlikely to be affected by food.
