Medical Description

Fucibet Cream is used to treat various skin infections. It reduces inflammation, such as redness, swelling, and itching, while acting against the microorganisms responsible for infections. It contains two main ingredients: betamethasone, a corticosteroid, and fusidic acid, an antibiotic.

Fucibet Cream is for external use only and should be applied as directed by your doctor. Use clean, dry hands to spread a thin layer on the affected area. If the cream comes into contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or genital areas, rinse thoroughly with water.

Your symptoms may take a few days to weeks to improve. For the best results, use the cream as instructed and complete the entire treatment. If you don’t notice any improvement or your condition worsens, contact your healthcare provider.

Common side effects at the application site may include itching, dryness, redness, or a slight burning sensation. These side effects are usually temporary. If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as rashes, swelling, itching, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately.

Before using Fucibet Cream, it is important to inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking. This is particularly crucial for pregnant or breastfeeding women, who should only use the cream after consulting a healthcare provider. If you are allergic to any of the cream's ingredients, avoid using it and ask your doctor for an alternative treatment.
