How it works
Fusiderm-B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Fusidic Acid which treats skin infections. Betamethasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red swollen and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use Fusiderm-B Cream?
Use Fusiderm-B Cream as directed by your doctor or according to the instructions on the label. Apply a thin layer to cover the affected area, and the dose will depend on the condition being treated. Wash your hands after application, unless you're treating an infection on your hands. Avoid contact with your eyes.
Can I stop using Fusiderm-B Cream when my symptoms improve?
No, do not stop using Fusiderm-B Cream and complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cured.
What precautions should I take while using Fusiderm-B Cream?
Avoid using Fusiderm-B Cream on your face and do not touch your eyes. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the treated area, as this may increase absorption and side effects. Use this medicine only for the condition it was prescribed for, and do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not share it with others, even if their condition appears similar.
What happens if I use a higher dose of Fusiderm-B Cream for a longer period?
Use Fusiderm-B Cream only as directed by your doctor. Using higher doses or longer periods can cause the medicine to be absorbed into your blood, leading to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. This may result in weight gain, high blood pressure, and changes in facial appearance. It can also cause skin discoloration, visible veins, and increased hair growth. If you experience worsening symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
How should I store and dispose of Fusiderm-B Cream?
Keep Fusiderm-B Cream in its original packaging and store it according to the instructions on the label or packaging. Dispose of any unused medicine, and ensure it is not consumed by pets, children, or other people.
Are there any contraindications associated with using Fusiderm-B Cream?
Use of Fusiderm-B Cream is not recommended for patients with known allergies to its components or excipients. Avoid using it for fungal infections (ringworm or athlete's foot), viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), or acne or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using it for any condition.
