About this product

Overview

Fusiderm Cream contains the active ingredient fusidic acid, which is an antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections. Fusidic acid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria responsible for the infection.

Ingredient

  • Fusidic Acid: Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.

Uses

Fusiderm Cream is indicated for the treatment of the following bacterial skin infections:

  • Impetigo: A contagious skin infection characterized by red sores or blisters that rupture and form crusts.
  • Infected cuts or wounds: Bacterial infections that occur as a result of cuts, wounds, or abrasions on the skin.
  • Secondary skin infections: Infections that occur as a complication of pre-existing skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.

Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer of Fusiderm Cream to the affected area(s) of the skin, following the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is absorbed. Wash your hands before and after applying the cream. Use Fusiderm Cream as directed by your healthcare provider, typically two to three times daily, for the prescribed duration of treatment.

Side Effects

While Fusiderm Cream is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

  • Skin irritation or burning sensation
  • Itching or redness at the application site
  • Allergic reactions (rare)
  • Prolonged use may lead to skin thinning or discoloration

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use of the cream and consult your healthcare provider.

Precautions

  • Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes while applying Fusiderm Cream. Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
  • Do not apply the cream to large areas of broken or damaged skin, as this may increase the risk of systemic absorption and adverse effects.
  • Use Fusiderm Cream for the prescribed duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the infection clears completely.

Warnings

  • Fusiderm Cream is for external use only. Do not ingest the cream or apply it to internal body cavities.
  • Prolonged use of Fusiderm Cream may lead to the development of bacterial resistance. Use the cream for the shortest duration necessary to achieve therapeutic benefit.
