About this item
Fucidin H Cream is a dual-action topical medication containing Fusidic Acid, a potent antibiotic, and Hydrocortisone Acetate, a mild corticosteroid. The cream is designed to treat skin conditions where inflammation is prominent and there is a high likelihood of, or definite, bacterial infection (e.g., superficial skin lesions). The fusidic acid actively kills susceptible bacteria, while the hydrocortisone rapidly reduces the swelling, redness, and itching caused by the underlying inflammation. This combined approach is highly effective in clearing localized, infected eczema and dermatitis.
Dosage of Fucidin H Cream
This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
- Take as directed by the pharmacist or physician. The typical application is a thin layer applied to the affected skin area two or three times daily.
Proper Administration
- Administration: Wash your hands before and after use. Apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area only. Rub in gently until absorbed.
- Duration: Treatment is usually limited to a short period, typically no more than two weeks. This limit is crucial to minimize the risk of corticosteroid side effects and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Discontinuation: The cream should be stopped once the infection and inflammation have cleared, or after the prescribed duration.
Contraindications of Fucidin H Cream
- Known Allergies: Do NOT use if you have a known allergy to fusidic acid, hydrocortisone, or any other ingredients.
- Specific Infections: Do NOT use for skin conditions caused by viruses (e.g., chickenpox, cold sores/herpes), fungus (e.g., athlete's foot), or tuberculosis.
- Acne and Rosacea: Do NOT use on acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, or perioral dermatitis.
Side Effects of Fucidin H Cream
- Common Side Effects (Local): Mild burning, stinging, itching, or irritation at the application site.
- Serious but Rare Side Effects (Medical Attention Needed): Signs of an allergic reaction (rash, difficulty breathing), worsening of the condition, or local side effects of the steroid (skin thinning, stretch marks) if used improperly or for too long.
Precautions and Warnings of Fucidin H Cream
- Antibiotic Resistance: The short treatment duration is vital to minimize the development of fusidic acid resistance in bacteria.
- Steroid Side Effects: Although Hydrocortisone 1% is a mild steroid, prolonged use, especially on the face, under bandages, or in skin folds, can lead to side effects like skin thinning, discolouration, and acne-like eruptions.
- Avoid Eyes: Do NOT apply the cream near the eyes, as hydrocortisone can increase intraocular pressure (glaucoma).
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before use. Use sparingly and for short periods only. Do not apply to the breasts if breastfeeding.
- Pack Size: 30g Tube
- Form: Topical Cream
- Active Ingredients: Fusidic Acid 2% and Hydrocortisone Acetate 1%
