What is Fucibet Cream (Fusidic Acid/Betamethasone) used for?

Fucibet Cream (Fusidic Acid/Betamethasone) is a topical medication prescribed to treat eczema that has become infected by bacteria. Fusidic acid is an antibacterial medication that disrupts cell wall production to destroy sensitive bacteria cells while slowing reproduction to prevent the spread of infection allowing the immune system to destroy it. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that suppresses immune responses to reduce swelling, pain, and irritation to control the eczema while the antibacterial medication operates. Your physician may prescribe it to be used along with other medicines or to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Fucibet Cream (Fusidic Acid/Betamethasone)?

Always follow the directions of your physician and those included with the packaging to ensure the safest and most effective results while using Fucibet Cream (Fusidic Acid/Betamethasone).

Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the cream to remove any contaminants. Clean and dry the affected area to remove any loose skin, apply a small amount of medication, and gently massage it into the skin leaving a small film.

You may be directed to have regular medical consultations with your physician to make sure the cream is having the correct effects.
