Fucidin H Cream 15gm

Fucidin H Cream 15gm, made by Leo Pharmaceutical Products, is an antibiotic and mild steroid cream. Its active ingredient is Fusidic Acid + Hydrocortisone 15g, and it is used for infected eczema, infected dermatitis and inflamed skin infections. Pack size: 15 gm.

Uses of Fucidin H Cream 15gm

Fucidin H Cream 15gm cream is used for eczema or dermatitis that has become infected with bacteria, usually staphylococci. Signs of infection can include weeping, crusting, yellow scabs or worsening redness on top of an itchy rash. The cream treats the infection and the inflammation together, so it is meant for short courses, not as a routine moisturiser or for everyday skin care.

How Fucidin H Cream 15gm works

Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that stops bacteria making the proteins they need to grow, clearing the infection on the skin. Hydrocortisone is a mild steroid that calms inflammation, reducing redness, swelling and itching while the skin heals.

Possible side effects

Side effects with Fucidin H Cream 15gm are uncommon and usually limited to the treated area. They may include:

• Itching or burning where applied
• Mild stinging
• Redness or irritation
• Dry skin
• Contact allergy causing a rash

Stop using it and see a doctor if the rash spreads, becomes more painful or swollen, or if you get a fever. Seek urgent help for swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it only for the short period your doctor advises, usually no more than two weeks, because longer use encourages bacteria to become resistant to fusidic acid.
• Apply a thin layer only to the affected skin, and avoid long-term use on the face, skin folds or nappy area.
• It is not a fairness or skin-lightening cream and should not be used on acne, rosacea or untreated fungal or viral infections such as cold sores.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using it over large areas.
• Wash your hands after applying it, unless your hands are the area being treated.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
