Fucidin Cream contains the active ingredient fusidic acid. It is a prescription topical antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections of the skin.
It is applied directly to the affected area, where it works against bacteria that are sensitive to fusidic acid.
Fucidin Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria, particularly certain types of Staphylococcus.
These infections may cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, tenderness, crusting, pus, or skin irritation.
Fucidin Cream may be prescribed for impetigo, a contagious bacterial skin infection that commonly causes red sores, blisters, or yellowish crusts.
By reducing the bacteria on the skin, fusidic acid helps the infected area heal.
Fucidin Cream may also be used for folliculitis, which is an infection or inflammation of the hair follicles.
Folliculitis can cause small red bumps, tenderness, itching, or pus-filled spots around the hair follicles.
Skin affected by eczema can sometimes become infected with bacteria.
Fucidin Cream may be used when eczema develops a secondary bacterial infection, especially when there are signs such as increased redness, oozing, crusting, or worsening irritation.
Fucidin Cream can also be used for certain secondary bacterial infections.
This means bacteria have infected skin that was already damaged by another condition, such as eczema, a minor wound, or another skin problem.
Fusidic acid is a topical antibiotic.
It interferes with the process bacteria use to make proteins that are necessary for their growth and survival.
How It Stops the Infection
By blocking bacterial protein production, fusidic acid prevents susceptible bacteria from multiplying normally.
This allows the immune system to clear the remaining bacteria and helps the infected skin recover.
Works Locally on the Skin
Because Fucidin Cream is applied directly to the affected area, most of its antibacterial activity occurs on or near the treated skin.
This makes it useful for localized bacterial infections that do not require an oral or injected antibiotic.
Fucidin Cream only treats certain bacterial infections.
It does not treat fungal infections, viral infections, or skin conditions that are not caused by susceptible bacteria.
For example, it should not be used for a fungal rash simply because the skin is red or itchy.
Different skin conditions can look similar, but they may require very different treatments.
Use Fucidin Cream only when it has been prescribed for the specific skin infection being treated.
Continue using Fucidin Cream for the length of time recommended by your healthcare provider, even if the skin begins to improve.
Stopping an antibiotic too early or using it unnecessarily may allow bacteria to remain and can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Use Fucidin Cream exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Before applying the cream, wash your hands and gently clean the affected skin if needed. Dry the area before applying the medication.
Apply a small amount of Fucidin Cream in a thin layer over the infected area.
Gently rub it into the skin until it is absorbed. You do not need to apply a thick layer for the medication to work.
Fucidin Cream is commonly applied 2 to 3 times a day.
Treatment often lasts about 7 to 14 days, depending on the type and severity of the infection and your healthcare provider’s instructions.
If your healthcare provider tells you to cover the treated area with a gauze dressing or bandage, you may be instructed to apply Fucidin Cream less often, such as once or twice daily.
Follow the exact schedule your healthcare provider gives you.
Wash your hands before applying the cream to help avoid introducing more bacteria to the infected area.
Wash them again afterward unless your hands are the area being treated.
Be careful when applying Fucidin Cream near the face.
Avoid getting the medication in your eyes. If it accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with clean water.
Apply Fucidin Cream only to the area your healthcare provider has told you to treat.
Do not use larger amounts, cover larger areas, or apply it more frequently than prescribed unless your healthcare provider advises you to do so.
Continue using Fucidin Cream for the full length of time prescribed, even if the skin starts to look better.
Stopping too early may allow some bacteria to remain and the infection may return.
The amount and frequency of treatment may vary depending on the location and severity of the infection.
If your healthcare provider gives you instructions that differ from general product directions, follow their recommendations.
Do not increase or decrease how often you use Fucidin Cream without medical advice.
If you forget to apply Fucidin Cream, use it when you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule.
Do not apply twice as much cream to make up for the missed application.
If you are unsure about a missed dose, how long to continue treatment, or how often to apply the cream, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
For the best results, apply Fucidin Cream in a thin layer, use it consistently, keep the affected area clean, and complete the prescribed treatment period.
Contact your healthcare provider if the infection becomes worse, spreads, or does not begin to improve as expected.
Fucidin Cream (Fusidic Acid Cream) is available in the following forms and strength:
Fucidin Cream may cause skin irritation, redness, itching, or a rash in some people.
Before using it, check the ingredient list and tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had an allergic reaction to fusidic acid or any other ingredient in the cream.
Stop using the cream and seek medical advice if you develop significant swelling, severe redness, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Fucidin Cream is a prescription antibiotic, so use it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
Do not apply it more often, use a larger amount, or continue treatment longer than recommended unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Using fusidic acid too often or for longer than necessary can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.
This means the bacteria may become harder to treat in the future. Use Fucidin Cream only for the infection it was prescribed for and complete the recommended treatment period.
Fucidin Cream is generally intended for short-term treatment of bacterial skin infections.
Do not keep using it repeatedly for new skin problems unless your healthcare provider has confirmed that the infection is bacterial and that fusidic acid is appropriate.
Use Fucidin Cream cautiously on large areas of skin, severely damaged skin, or extensive wounds.
Your healthcare provider should decide whether topical fusidic acid is appropriate when a large area needs treatment or when the skin barrier is badly damaged.
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Fucidin Cream.
Your healthcare provider can decide whether the benefits of treatment outweigh any potential risks.
If you are breastfeeding, ask your healthcare provider whether Fucidin Cream is appropriate for you.
Avoid applying the cream directly to the breast or nipple unless specifically instructed, since the infant could come into contact with or swallow the medication.
Topical Fucidin Cream generally has fewer drug interactions than fusidic acid taken by mouth or injection because much less medication reaches the bloodstream.
However, tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines, supplements, and skin products you are using, especially if you are also receiving systemic fusidic acid.
Be careful when using Fucidin Cream on the face.
Do not allow the cream to get into your eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the eye thoroughly with clean water.
Store Fucidin Cream according to the instructions on the package, usually at room temperature.
Keep the tube tightly closed and out of the reach of children and pets.
Check the product label or pharmacy instructions for how long the cream should be kept after opening.
Some formulations may have a specific discard-after-opening period, so do not rely on the tube indefinitely once it has been opened.
Do not dispose of unused or expired medication by flushing it down the toilet or sink unless specifically instructed.
Ask your pharmacist about the safest way to dispose of Fucidin Cream that is expired or no longer needed.
Fucidin Cream usually has fewer drug interactions than oral antibiotics because only a small amount is absorbed through the skin. However, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, supplements, and other creams or ointments you are using. This is especially important if you are using other medications on the same area of skin.
Use Fucidin Cream for the full length of time prescribed by your healthcare provider. Treatment is often short-term. Do not continue using it longer than recommended, because unnecessary or prolonged use can increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. If your skin infection is not improving, is getting worse, or returns after treatment, contact your healthcare provider.
Yes. Fucidin Cream may be prescribed for children when a healthcare provider decides it is appropriate. The amount, frequency, and length of treatment depend on the child’s age, the location of the infection, and how severe it is. Use it only as directed by the child’s healthcare provider.
In many countries, Fucidin Cream is available by prescription only. Availability can vary depending on local regulations, so ask your pharmacist if you are unsure whether a prescription is required where you live.
