Overview Fusidus Cream

Fucidic acid cream, an antibacterial topical agent, effectively combats bacterial skin infections like impetigo and infected eczema. Its mechanism involves inhibiting the proliferation of infectious organisms, thus alleviating infection symptoms. Always adhere to your physician's prescribed dosage and treatment duration. This medication is for external application only; consistent use maximizes therapeutic efficacy. Avoid exceeding the recommended amount; overapplication won't hasten recovery and may heighten adverse reactions. Ensure the affected skin is clean and dry prior to application. Thorough handwashing before and after use is crucial. Mild, transient burning, irritation, itching, or redness may occur at the application site but typically resolve spontaneously. Persistent or severe reactions warrant medical consultation. Prevent eye contact; in case of accidental exposure, immediately flush with water and seek medical advice. Unless otherwise instructed, avoid occlusive dressings as they may increase adverse events. Disclose pregnancy, pregnancy plans, or breastfeeding to your doctor.

FAQs on Fusidus Cream

Fusidus Cream is a topical antibiotic, not a steroid or antifungal. It treats bacterial skin infections such as impetigo (characterized by weeping, crusted, swollen patches), infected wounds, and infected dermatitis (inflamed, reddened, and painful skin).
Apply Fusidus Cream as directed by your doctor. Treatment typically lasts 1-2 weeks, but may require a longer duration in certain instances.
Apply Fusidus Cream only to the skin. Wash your hands before and after application, unless the application site is your hands. Do not ingest or insert the cream into any body orifice. If accidental eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Seek immediate medical attention if irritation continues.
Antibiotic resistance can develop when bacteria change, making medication ineffective. Prolonged or repeated use of antibiotics increases this risk. Fusidic acid cream can also lead to resistance. To avoid this, always use Fusidus Cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Severe allergic reactions may include a severe rash, breathing difficulties, persistent eye stinging or burning, and facial swelling (particularly around the eyes or eyelids).
