Product Description
Fusiderm Cream combines fusidic acid (a powerful antibiotic effective against Staphylococcus aureus, including many resistant strains) with betamethasone valerate (a potent corticosteroid) to treat inflamed skin conditions complicated by bacterial infection. Indicated for short-term use in infected eczema (atopic, contact, seborrhoeic), psoriasis with secondary infection, and other steroid-responsive dermatoses where bacteria are present. The cream base is suitable for moist or weeping lesions, providing rapid relief from redness, itching, swelling, and infection. Benefits • Dual action: clears bacterial infection while reducing inflammation fast • Highly effective against Staph aureus (common in infected eczema) • Rapid symptom relief – itching and redness often improve within days • Cream base ideal for moist, weeping, or flexural areas • Allows healing by controlling both cause (infection) and symptoms (inflammation) • Well tolerated in short courses on body areas How to Use • Apply a thin layer to clean, dry affected area 2–3 times daily • Gently rub in until absorbed • Use for shortest duration necessary (usually 7–14 days maximum) • Avoid face, groin, or large areas unless directed • Taper gradually if used longer to prevent rebound • Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless prescribed • Seek medical review if no improvement in 7 days or condition worsens
