Infacid Cream 15g contains Fusidic Acid as its active ingredient. It is a topical antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial skin infections. Fusidic Acid works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping to clear up the infection. This cream is for external use only and should not be ingested or applied to open wounds.
Infacid Cream is commonly prescribed to treat various skin infections caused by bacteria, including impetigo, infected eczema, and infected wounds. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, making it a versatile treatment option for bacterial skin infections.
While Infacid Cream is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Common side effects may include:
If you experience severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use of the cream and consult your doctor for further advice.
Before using Infacid Cream, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any allergies you may have, especially to Fusidic Acid or other antibiotics. Avoid applying the cream to areas of broken or damaged skin, as this may increase the risk of systemic absorption and adverse effects. If the infection does not improve or worsens after using the cream for a few days, seek medical attention.
Infacid Cream should not be used in patients who are allergic to Fusidic Acid or any other ingredients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in individuals with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to other antibiotics. Avoid using the cream in the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes.
