About Fucibet Cream

Fucibet Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.

Fucibet Cream is composed of Betamethasone and Fusidic acid. Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic acid prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

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. 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. Fucibet Cream is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Fucibet Cream.

Uses of Fucibet Cream

Fucibet Cream is used in the treatment of bacterial skin infections, eczema, and dermatitis. The detailed uses of Fucibet Cream are as follows:

  • Treatment of Skin Infections: Fucibet Cream effectively treats bacterial skin infections by targeting and eliminating infection-causing bacteria.
  • Management of Eczema: Fucibet Cream helps to manage eczema symptoms by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness, and providing relief to affected skin areas.

  • Addressing Dermatitis: Fucibet Cream treats dermatitis by soothing the skin and reducing irritation with its effective combination of active ingredients.

Directions for Use

  • Fucibet Cream is for external use only.
  • It is usually applied twice daily or as directed by your doctor.
  • Take a small amount of Fucibet Cream on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area.
  • If Fucibet Cream accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Fucibet Cream consists of two medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic).
  • Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandins' 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) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches).
  • 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 patch of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).

How Fucibet Cream Works

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).
