FUSIWAL B CREAM 10 GM

How FUSIWAL B CREAM 10 GM Works

• FUSIWAL B CREAM 10 GM is a combination medication containing fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, while betamethasone valerate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. Together, they combat bacterial infections and alleviate associated inflammation, redness, and itching.
• Fusidic acid works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to produce proteins. Bacteria need proteins to grow and multiply. Fusidic acid binds to a specific factor inside the bacterial cells, called elongation factor G (EF-G). This binding action prevents EF-G from functioning properly, which is essential for the translocation step during protein synthesis. By blocking this step, fusidic acid effectively stops the bacteria from creating new proteins. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot grow or replicate, leading to their eventual death or inhibited growth. This makes fusidic acid effective against a variety of bacterial skin infections.
• Betamethasone valerate, a potent corticosteroid, exerts its anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and vasoconstrictive effects by binding to specific intracellular receptors. Once bound, this complex translocates into the nucleus where it modulates the transcription of various genes. Specifically, it increases the production of anti-inflammatory proteins like lipocortin, which inhibits the release of arachidonic acid – a precursor to inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By reducing the synthesis of these inflammatory substances, betamethasone valerate effectively diminishes inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching associated with skin conditions. Additionally, it constricts blood vessels in the affected area, further reducing redness and swelling. The combined effect helps to provide relief from discomfort and promotes healing of the skin.
• When FUSIWAL B CREAM is applied to the skin, both fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate are absorbed locally. Fusidic acid targets the bacteria causing the infection, while betamethasone valerate reduces the inflammation associated with the infection. This dual action helps to clear the infection and relieve the symptoms, such as redness, swelling, and itching. It is important to use the cream as directed by your doctor to ensure the infection is treated effectively and to minimize the risk of side effects.
