About this product

Overview

Fusiderm 15g Ointment contains the active ingredient fusidic acid, which is a topical antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections. Fusidic acid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby 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 15g Ointment 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 Fusiderm 15g Ointment topically to the affected area(s) of the skin, following the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Wash your hands before and after applying the ointment. Gently rub a thin layer of the ointment onto the affected skin, covering the entire area. Use the ointment as directed, typically two to three times daily, until the infection resolves.

Side Effects

While Fusiderm 15g Ointment is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

  • Skin irritation or redness at the application site
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Rash or allergic reactions (rare)

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

Precautions

  • Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes while applying Fusiderm 15g Ointment. Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
  • Do not apply the ointment to large areas of broken or damaged skin, as this may increase the risk of systemic absorption and adverse effects.
  • Use Fusiderm 15g Ointment for the prescribed duration of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the infection clears completely.

Warnings

  • Fusiderm 15g Ointment is for external use only. Do not ingest the ointment or apply it to internal body cavities.
  • If there is no improvement in symptoms or if the infection worsens after using Fusiderm 15g Ointment, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
