About Fucibet Cream

Fucibet Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause disease. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some eczema types can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin. 

Fucibet Cream is composed of two medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). 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).

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Fucibet Cream has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you face any other symptoms or the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Fucibet Cream or other medications. Do not use Fucibet Cream on thin skin, skin ulcers, broken veins or acne without a doctor's advice. Do not apply tight dressings and bandages on the skin's affected areas after using Fucibet Cream unless the doctor advises. Fucibet Cream is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Do not use Fucibet Cream on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals if the doctor did not advise you. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Fucibet Cream.

Fucibet Cream consists of Betamethasone and Fusidic acid. Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, works by blocking prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina, rinse with cold water. Do not apply Fucibet Cream on open wounds, lesions and blisters.

Fucibet Cream consists of Betamethasone that can cause a rise in blood sugar levels by suppressing insulin secretion. Hence it is advised to consult your doctor before starting Fucibet Cream.

No, Fucibet Cream is not recommended to use for diaper rash, since Betamethasone in Fucibet Cream can be systemically absorbed and cause adrenal suppression, Cushing's syndrome and intracranial hypertension (pressure of the fluid that surrounds the brain). Your baby's paediatrician may suggest other medications for the treatment of diaper rash.

Let your child's doctor know if he/she has any fungal infections; viral skin infections like cold sores, chickenpox, and shingles; parasite skin infections; skin problems caused by tuberculosis or syphilis, and skin problems after vaccination.

Fucibet Cream, when used for longer periods, can cause weight gain, high blood pressure and rounding of the face. Applying Fucibet Cream can cause a change in the colour of skin at the application site. Veins beneath the skin may become visible due to the thinning and weakening of the skin. Prolonged usage of Fucibet Cream may also cause increased hair growth. Please stop using Fucibet Cream and immediately consult your doctor if you notice these side effects.

You are required to maintain at least a three-hour gap after application of Fucibet Cream if you are using more than one topical medicine.

Prior to applying the medication, wash and dry your hands. Cleanse and dry the affected region. Apply a thin film of medication to the affected area and carefully rub it in as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day. Unless ordered by your doctor, do not bandage, cover, or wrap the affected area.

Continue using Fucibet Cream until you have finished the course, even if you feel better. If you stop your treatment early, the infection could come back.

To avoid potential interactions and minimise side effects, before using this medication, you should inform your doctor about your medical history, including any ongoing medicines.

If you accidentally get any medicine in your eye, wash it with cold water immediately, then bathe your eye with an eyewash if possible. If you start to have any problems with your sight or your eye is sore, contact your doctor immediately.
