Quick Tips
Ufisid Cream treats bacterial skin infections such as impetigo and infected dermatitis. Don't use it for more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Apply it gently to the infected area of skin three to four times a day. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if your infection becomes worse during treatment or if it comes back after you have stopped treatment with Ufisid Cream.
