Medicinal Benefits:

HHFudic Cream consists of two medicines: Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Mometasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It is used to treat inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), allergies and rash. On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patches of skin) and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).

Don't use HHFudic Cream for longer than your doctor prescribed. Using it too long can cause more side effects, worsen your skin condition, and even lead to resistant bacteria.

Use it for the duration prescribed by your doctor. Using it for too long can lead to side effects and reduced effectiveness. On the other hand, using it for too short a period may not effectively clear up the infection, so be sure to complete the full treatment course as directed.
