FAQ
What is Fucibet cream used for?
Fucibet cream delivers effective relief for cases of skin inflammation where there is also infection present. Fucibet cream is primarily prescribed and used to treat cases of severe infected skin conditions including infected eczema and infected dermatitis.
What are the active ingredients in Fucibet cream?
Fucibet cream is used to treat eczema and dermatitis when a bacterial infection is present. It is a combination treatment suitable for reducing skin inflammation as well as treating a secondary bacterial infection. It contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid 2% and betamethasone valerate 0.1%.
Fusidic acid is the antibacterial component that fights the bacterial infection. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic medicine used to treat bacterial infections. While it doesn't kill bacteria, it works by stopping the production of new proteins within the bacteria, thus preventing them from multiplying and spreading.
Betamethasone valerate is the steroid component that reduces inflammation, redness and itching. It belongs to the family of medicines called topical corticosteroids. These are topical treatments that are used to treat eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions. It works by penetrating skin cells and reducing the release of inflammatory causing substances.
How do I use Fucibet cream?
Fucibet cream is typically used for a short-term course of around one or two weeks.
A thin layer should be applied topically to the affected area twice a day for up to two weeks. Once applied, leave Fucibet cream to soak into the inflamed skin and treat the skin condition for up to 30 minutes before applying any other creams or other topical treatments.
Can I use other Eczema treatments with Fucibet cream?
Yes. You can combine Fucibet cream with your normal emollient eczema treatments to keep your skin hydrated and prevent further irritation from drying and cracking.
Can I use Fucibet cream to treat infected eczema while I am pregnant?
It is not recommended to use Fucibet cream while pregnant unless necessary and directed by your doctor. Fucibet cream can be used by mothers who are breastfeeding, as long as the cream is not applied directly to the breast.
Does Fucibet cream help reduce scars or just infected skin conditions?
Fucibet cream is not strictly designed as a cream to reduce scarring – it is an antibiotic treatment used to treat infected eczema and associated conditions.
