FUDIC BNF CREAM 10 GM

How FUDIC BNF CREAM 10 GM Works

• FUDIC BNF CREAM 10 GM is a potent topical medication combining the antibacterial power of Fusidic acid with the anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties of Betamethasone. This dual-action formula effectively targets and treats a variety of skin conditions caused by bacterial infections, often complicated by inflammation.
• Fusidic acid, a key ingredient in FUDIC BNF CREAM, is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. This means it primarily works by inhibiting bacterial growth rather than directly killing the bacteria. Specifically, Fusidic acid interferes with the bacterial protein synthesis. Bacteria need proteins to build their cell structures and carry out essential functions. Fusidic acid blocks the translocation step in this protein synthesis process. Translocation involves the movement of a specific molecule known as tRNA (transfer RNA) from one site on the ribosome (the protein-making machinery of the cell) to another. By preventing this movement, Fusidic acid effectively halts the production of new proteins within the bacterial cell. Without these essential proteins, the bacteria cannot grow, multiply, or repair themselves, eventually leading to their decline and elimination by the body's immune system. Fusidic acid is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus, a common culprit in skin infections.
• Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, provides significant anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive actions. When applied topically, Betamethasone reduces inflammation by suppressing the activity of various inflammatory cells and mediators. These mediators, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, are chemicals released by the body in response to injury or infection. They cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to redness, swelling, and pain. Betamethasone inhibits the production of these inflammatory mediators, thereby reducing redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with inflammatory skin conditions. Furthermore, Betamethasone narrows the blood vessels in the affected area, reducing the flow of inflammatory cells and further diminishing inflammation. By suppressing the immune response in the skin, Betamethasone can also help to relieve symptoms of allergic reactions and other immune-mediated skin conditions. Betamethasone's dual action reduces the swelling, redness and itchiness.
• In essence, FUDIC BNF CREAM 10 GM offers a comprehensive approach to treating infected and inflamed skin conditions. Fusidic acid targets and inhibits bacterial growth, while Betamethasone reduces inflammation and alleviates associated symptoms. This combination helps to clear the infection, reduce discomfort, and promote healing of the affected skin area. It is important to use FUDIC BNF CREAM exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent recurrence.

Like all medicines, FUDIC BNF Cream can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. **Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):** * Itching at the application site * Burning sensation at the application site **Uncommon side effects (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):** * Redness at the application site * Dry skin * Pain at the application site * Skin rash * Inflammation of the skin (dermatitis) * Eczema * Allergic reactions **Rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):** * Hives (urticaria) * Blisters **Very rare side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):** * Thinning of skin * Visible small blood vessels * Changes in skin pigmentation * Excessive hair growth **Side effects with unknown frequency (frequency cannot be estimated from the available data):** * Blurred vision

• Apply the cream as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed application.

• Keep FUDIC BNF CREAM 10GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store FUDIC BNF CREAM 10GM at room temperature.

• **Clean and Dry:** Before applying FUDIC BNF Cream, gently wash the affected area with mild soap and water, then pat it completely dry. This helps the cream penetrate effectively and prevents further infection.
• **Thin Layer Application:** Apply a thin layer of FUDIC BNF Cream to the affected area. Avoid using a thick layer, as this doesn't necessarily improve effectiveness and can lead to unnecessary absorption of the medication.
• **Frequency and Duration:** Use FUDIC BNF Cream as directed by your doctor, usually two or three times daily. Continue the treatment for the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is completely eradicated and prevent recurrence.
• **Avoid Occlusive Dressings:** Unless specifically instructed by your doctor, avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings or bandages. These can increase absorption of the medication and potentially lead to side effects. Light, breathable dressings are generally acceptable.
• **Monitor for Side Effects:** Watch for any signs of irritation, redness, itching, or burning at the application site. If these occur, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Allergic reactions are rare but possible, so seek immediate medical attention if you experience swelling, difficulty breathing, or hives.

• FUDIC BNF CREAM 10 GM is for external use only and is unlikely to interact with food. However, to minimize potential interactions or contamination, it is advisable to apply the cream after meals or at a time when you are not eating. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
