Fusimate Cream

Your doctor may prescribe this medicine to treat several conditions, including:

• Infected eczema: It reduces the intense itching, redness, and swelling of eczema while killing the bacteria causing the secondary infection.
• Infected dermatitis: It calms the skin inflammation caused by allergic or irritant dermatitis and eliminates the complicating bacterial infection.
• Psoriasis with secondary bacterial infection: It helps relieve the thick, red, scaly patches associated with psoriasis while clearing up any bacterial complications in the affected area.
   

When used as prescribed, this medicine offers several important benefits, including:

• Relief from Itching and Skin Irritation: It helps reduce persistent itching, burning, and discomfort associated with inflamed skin conditions, providing soothing relief and improving skin comfort.
• Reduced Risk of Further Skin Damage: By easing irritation and the urge to scratch, it helps protect the affected area from additional damage and lowers the risk of complications caused by skin breakdown.
• Targeted Support for Inflammation and Infection: It works by addressing both skin inflammation and bacterial infection, helping manage symptoms while supporting the healing process.
• Faster Skin Recovery and Improved Appearance: With regular use as directed, Fusimate Cream helps promote more efficient healing, restoring healthier-looking skin and improving overall comfort.
   

• Fusimate Cream is for external use only.
• It is typically applied twice daily. However, follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication for safe and effective use.
• Take a small amount of Fusimate Cream on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area as advised by the doctor.
• If Fusimate Cream accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse with water thoroughly.

• Keep Skin Hydrated: Apply a fragrance-free moisturiser to untreated areas of your skin to maintain hydration and support healthy skin.
• Avoid Hot Baths and Showers: Use lukewarm water instead of hot water, as hot water can remove natural skin oils and worsen dryness or irritation.
• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose loose-fitting clothing made from soft, breathable fabrics such as cotton to reduce friction and irritation on treated skin.
• Avoid Scratching or Picking: Do not scratch or pick at healing skin, as this can damage the skin barrier, introduce bacteria, and delay recovery.
• Use Gentle Cleansers: Wash your body with mild, soap-free cleansers that are free from harsh chemicals and fragrances to avoid further irritation.
• Manage Skin Triggers: Avoid factors that may worsen irritation, such as excessive heat, sweating, harsh skincare products, and prolonged exposure to known personal triggers.
• Manage Stress: Stress can worsen some inflammatory skin conditions. Maintaining good sleep habits, relaxation routines, and stress management techniques may support better skin control.
   

• Check the Tube Before Use: Always check the tube seal before first use. Do not use Fusimate Cream if the seal is broken, damaged, or appears to have been tampered with.
• Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply Fusimate Cream near the eyes, nose, or mouth, as accidental contact may cause irritation or other complications.
• Use Only as Directed: Avoid applying Fusimate Cream over large areas of the body or on open, raw, or bleeding wounds unless specifically advised by your doctor.
• Follow the Prescribed Duration: Use Fusimate Cream only for the duration recommended by your doctor. These steroid-antibiotic combinations are generally not recommended for use beyond 2 weeks without medical review, as prolonged use may increase the risk of skin thinning, steroid-related side effects, and antibiotic resistance.
• Monitor Skin Improvement: If your skin condition does not begin to improve after a few days of treatment, or if symptoms worsen, contact your doctor for advice.
• Use Only for Confirmed or Suspected Bacterial Infections: Fusidic acid is an antibiotic, and unnecessary or prolonged use can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat. Use Fusimate Cream only as prescribed by your doctor and do not continue treatment beyond the recommended duration.
