Fusidic Acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with the function of elongation factor G, thereby preventing bacterial growth.
Medical applications
Fucidin H Cream is a topical medication combining Hydrocortisone (1% w/w) and Fusidic Acid (2% w/w), designed to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial infections. Hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching, providing symptomatic relief in conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and allergic reactions. Fusidic Acid is a potent antibiotic effective against a range of Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, which commonly infects damaged or inflamed skin.
The synergistic action of these two active ingredients makes Fucidin H Cream particularly useful for treating infected eczema, impetiginized dermatitis, and other superficial bacterial skin infections accompanied by inflammation. The cream should be applied in a thin layer to the affected area, typically two to three times daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to use Fucidin H Cream only for the prescribed duration to avoid potential side effects such as skin thinning or antibiotic resistance.
Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes and discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity occurs. This combination therapy offers an effective approach to managing infected inflammatory skin conditions, promoting healing while controlling infection and inflammation.
How to use Fucidin H Cream This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
