About Execare-F Cream

Execare-F Cream is a prescription topical cream used to treat inflammatory skin conditions that have been complicated by a bacterial infection. It helps clear the infection while soothing the underlying redness, itching, and swelling. This makes it highly effective for treating severe flare-ups of infected eczema or dermatitis. Execare-F Cream should only be used when a bacterial skin infection is present or strongly suspected, along with inflammation. It is not intended for non-infected inflammatory skin conditions. 

For the best results, you should apply Execare-F Cream consistently at the same times each day as directed by your healthcare provider. Because this is a topical medicine applied directly to your skin, food intake does not affect how well it works. Making simple lifestyle adjustments, such as wearing loose cotton clothing and using gentle, soap-free cleansers, can also support your skin's healing process.

While using Execare-F Cream, you may experience mild and temporary side effects like a slight burning sensation, redness, or dryness at the application site. However, if you notice severe skin irritation, spreading inflammation, or signs of a serious allergic reaction, stop using the cream and contact your doctor immediately.

Before applying this medicine, tell your doctor if you have very thin skin, rosacea, or open wounds in the treatment area. Do not use this medicine if you have a known allergy to any of its active components, or if you have untreated viral skin infections such as chickenpox, shingles, or herpes.

Although topical drug interactions are rare, you should inform your healthcare provider about any other skin creams or ointments you are currently using to avoid potential complications. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing skin conditions in an elderly individual, consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting treatment.

Uses of Execare-F Cream

Execare-F Cream is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial infections. The detailed uses of Execare-F Cream are as follows: 

  • Infected Eczema: Execare-F Cream helps soothe intense itching and redness while clearing up the complicating bacterial infection in the eczematous skin.
  • Infected Dermatitis: It reduces swelling, scaling, and skin irritation caused by dermatitis while eliminating harmful bacteria.
  • Psoriasis with Secondary Infection: It helps manage plaque inflammation and flaking while preventing or treating superficial bacterial complications in the affected areas.

Key Benefits

Using Execare-F Cream as prescribed may provide the following benefits: 

  • Relieves itching, swelling, and redness: Execare-F Cream provides rapid relief from the persistent itching, swelling, and redness that make inflammatory skin conditions highly uncomfortable. By targeting both the inflammation and the underlying bacterial infection at the same time, it helps the skin heal much faster than using separate treatments.
  • Supports faster skin healing: This dual-action approach means you do not have to apply multiple different creams throughout the day, simplifying your daily routine. It helps restore the natural skin barrier, allowing you to return to your daily activities without constant skin irritation or discomfort.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
  • Apply the advised dose of Execare-F Cream directly onto the affected area and gently massage it into the skin until fully absorbed.
  • Wash your hands before and after use unless the treatment is for your hands.

How Execare-F Cream Works

Execare-F Cream contains two active ingredients that work together to reduce inflammation and treat bacterial skin infections.  Halometasone works by stopping the production of natural chemicals in the body that cause redness, swelling, and itching. This rapidly calms the inflamed skin and reduces discomfort.  Fusidic acid works by entering the bacterial cells and stopping them from producing essential proteins they need to grow and multiply. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot survive, allowing your body's natural defences to clear the infection.

What if I have taken an overdose of Execare-F Cream

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Wear loose cotton clothing: Wear loose-fitting, soft cotton clothing over the treated areas to prevent friction and sweat build-up, which can worsen skin infections.
  • Avoid hot showers or baths: Avoid taking hot showers or baths, as hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, worsening dryness and irritation. Opt for lukewarm water instead.
  • Keep your skin moisturised: Keep your skin hydrated by using a mild, fragrance-free moisturiser on untreated areas of your body to maintain a strong skin barrier.
  • Avoid scratching the affected skin: Avoid scratching, rubbing, or picking at the infected skin, as this can introduce new bacteria, worsen the infection, and cause scarring.

Storage

• Store Execare-F Cream at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F).

Drug Warnings

  • Check the tube before use: do not use the cream if the protective seal is broken or if the cream has changed colour or consistency.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas: Avoid getting Execare-F Cream in your eyes, nose, mouth, or on any mucous membranes, as it can cause severe irritation. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with plenty of cool water.
  • Avoid prolonged use on sensitive areas: Do not use this cream on your face, groin, or underarms for extended periods unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as the skin in these areas is thinner and more prone to side effects.
  • Use only for the prescribed duration: Do not use Execare-F Cream for longer than prescribed. Overusing topical steroids can lead to skin thinning, while overusing antibiotics can make bacteria resistant to future treatments.

FAQs

Execare-F Cream contains Fusidic acid and Halometasone. Fusidic acid works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Halometasone works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Together, Execare-F Cream helps in treating skin infections.
Execare-F Cream contains a steroid; therefore, it should not be used for longer durations unless prescribed by a doctor. If your condition does not improve despite using Execare-F Cream for 1-2 weeks, consult your doctor, he/she may prescribe you an alternate medicine.
Avoid concomitant use of Execare-F Cream with other topical products such as cosmetics, sunscreens, lotions, moisturisers, insect repellent creams, and other gels.
Do not cover the treated skin with dressings after applying Execare-F Cream unless told by the doctor. Covering the skin can increase the amount of medicine absorbed through the skin leading to harmful effects.
Continue using Execare-F Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you experience any difficulty while using Execare-F Cream.
Execare-F Cream can be used on the face if advised by the doctor. However, you are advised to be cautious while doing so. Avoid applying Execare-F Cream near the eye as it can cause a prickling sensation. If Execare-F Cream comes in contact with eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with water immediately.
If your skin condition does not improve or gets worse after a week of consistent use, stop using the cream and contact your healthcare provider. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to re-evaluate your diagnosis.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should only use Execare-F Cream if your doctor determines that the benefits outweigh the risks. If approved, do not apply it to large areas of skin or use it for long periods, and avoid applying it to the breast area before nursing. Talk to your doctor for personalised guidance.
No, Execare-F Cream is not designed to treat acne. Using potent topical steroids on acne can actually worsen the condition or cause steroid-induced acne flare-ups. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for appropriate acne treatments.
Children are more sensitive to the side effects of topical steroids, such as growth suppression, if the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream. Only use Execare-F Cream on children under strict medical supervision. Talk to your doctor before applying this to a child.
You should avoid applying cosmetic creams, makeup, or sunscreens immediately over the treated area. If you must use other skin products, wait at least 30 minutes after applying Execare-F Cream to ensure it has been fully absorbed. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for specific product spacing recommendations.
