INTRODUCTION ABOUT FUCIDIN H CREAM

FUCIDIN
H CREAM is a combination of Fusidic acid and Hydrocortisone which
belongs to the group of medicines called Antibiotics and Corticosteroids
respectively. It is used to manage conditions where the skin is
inflamed (eczema or dermatitis) and infected or to manage infection by
bacteria.

Eczema or dermatitis is a term for several different
types of skin swelling that cause dry, itchy skin and rashes on the
face, elbows, behind the knees, and on the hands and feet. Scratching
the skin can cause it to swell and itch even more, and may turn red.

During course of the management your doctor might regularly examine your skin to avoid any untoward side effects.

Avoid
smoking while using FUCIDIN H CREAM. Your doctor will prescribe the
right dose for your child depending on age, body weight and severity of
infection.

Before using FUCIDIN H CREAM, inform your doctor if
you have skin conditions like acne rosacea, perioral dermatitis, skin
conditions caused by tuberculosis or syphilis, boils, spots, cold sores,
chickenpox, or athlete’s foot.

FUCIDIN H CREAM is not
recommended for use in pregnant women for a long time or in large
amounts. FUCIDIN H CREAM should be used with caution in breastfeeding
women.

The most common side effects of using FUCIDIN H CREAM are
itching, burning, or irritation. Contact your doctor if any of the side
effects worsen.

H CREAM manages affected skin where Fusidic acid works against the

relaxation and permeability of vessels, as well as leukocyte migration
to sites of inflammation.
