Medicinal Benefits

Fudiwin-H Cream is a combination of two drugs, namely Fusidic acid and Hydrocortisone, which reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial skin infections. Fusidic acid is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that is active against Gram-positive bacteria and works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply, and increase in numbers. Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that acts inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
