Fusimax H Cream

Fusimax H Cream is a topical medication that combines two active ingredients: Fusidic Acid and Hydrocortisone. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, making it effective against a variety of bacterial skin infections. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching associated with skin conditions. This combination cream is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that are also infected with bacteria.

Key Features:

• Antibacterial: Fusidic Acid has antibacterial properties and is effective against a wide range of bacteria commonly found on the skin.
• Anti-inflammatory: Hydrocortisone acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, reducing redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin inflammation.
• Dual Action: The combination of Fusidic Acid and Hydrocortisone provides both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, making it useful in treating infected inflammatory skin conditions.

Uses:

Fusimax H Cream is indicated for the treatment of various inflammatory skin conditions that are also infected with bacteria, including:

• Impetigo: A contagious bacterial skin infection characterized by red sores that rupture and form golden crusts.
