Fucidin Cream belongs to a class of drugs called antibiotics used to treat infections of the skin such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), cellulitis (swelling, redness, and pain in the infected area), infected cuts, burns, wounds, grazes, abrasions, ulcers, boils, abscesses, spots, carbuncles (cluster of boils), infected eczema and infected contact dermatitis (inflammation of the skin).
Fucidin Cream contains Fusidic acid, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection.
Fucidin Cream is for external use only. Use Fucidin Cream as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Fucidin Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation or itching at the site of the application. Most of these side effects of Fucidin Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to fusidic acid, other topical antibiotics, or any other ingredients, do not use Fucidin Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Fucidin Cream may catch fire and burn easily. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Fucidin Cream. Do not apply Fucidin Cream in large amounts or use for a long time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects, antibiotic resistance and makes skin more sensitive to Fucidin Cream.
