Fucidin 2% Cream 20mg

Fucidin 2% Cream is a topical antibiotic containing the active ingredient fusidic acid, used to treat bacterial skin infections. It is available by prescription only in many places. 

Medical uses

The cream is effective against infections caused by bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. It is used for conditions such as: 

• Impetigo: A highly contagious skin infection that causes weeping, crusty, and swollen patches.
• Infected dermatitis and eczema: Skin inflammation that has become infected.
• Boils: Painful, pus-filled lumps that form under the skin.
• Infected cuts and wounds.
• Folliculitis: Inflammation of the hair follicles. 

How it works

Fusidic acid works by preventing bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply. This stops the infection from spreading, allowing your body's immune system to clear the remaining bacteria. 

How to use

Follow the specific instructions from your doctor or the product's patient information leaflet. General application guidelines include: 

• Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream gently to the infected skin. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after use, unless the cream is being used to treat your hands.
• Frequency: The frequency of application should be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Duration: Do not use the cream for longer than prescribed. Overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance.
• Dressings: Avoid covering the area with airtight dressings like bandages unless your doctor specifically tells you to. 

Potential side effects

Common side effects are generally mild and temporary, and include: 

• Burning, stinging, or pain at the application site
• Itching
• Skin irritation or redness
• Rash or eczema 

Serious side effects are rare. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as: 

• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue, or throat
• A severe rash or hives
• Dizziness 

Important warnings

• Not for all infections: Fucidin is an antibacterial and is not effective against viral infections (like cold sores) or fungal infections (like athlete's foot).
• Allergies: Do not use this cream if you are allergic to fusidic acid or any of its other ingredients.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, consult a doctor before using this medication.
• Contact dermatitis: Some non-medicinal ingredients, such as cetyl alcohol and potassium sorbate, can cause a skin rash in some people.
• Facial use: Use caution when applying to the face and avoid getting the cream near the eyes, as it can cause irritation.
