About Fusiscalp Lotion
Fusiscalp Lotion is used to treat infections of the skin such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), cellulitis (swelling, redness, and pain in the infected area), infected cuts, burns, wounds, grazes, abrasions, ulcers, boils, abscesses, spots, carbuncles (cluster of boils), infected eczema and infected contact dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). Scalp specific products are used to treat bacterial infections of the scalp.
Fusiscalp Lotion contains Fusidic acid, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then, the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them, clearing the infection.
Fusiscalp Lotion is for external use only. Use Fusiscalp Lotion as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Fusiscalp Lotion for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition.
In some cases, you may experience irritation or itching at the site of the application. Most of these side effects of Fusiscalp Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Fusiscalp Lotion may catch fire and burn easily. Do not apply Fusiscalp Lotion in large amounts or use it for a longer time than prescribed, as it does not provide quick or better results and increases the risk of side effects, antibiotic resistance, and makes the skin more sensitive to Fusiscalp Lotion.
