What is Fucibet?
Fucibet cream is a medicine that is used to treat the most common bacterial infection of the skin, such as eczema or dermatitis. There are two active ingredients in Fucibet: betamethasone valerate 0.1%, an anti-inflammatory steroid, and fusidic acid 2%, which treats the most common bacterial infection of the skin. Fucibet cream also contains cetostearyl alcohol and chlorocresol, may cause allergic reactions to some people.
Fucibet cream is not used for the treatment of fungal infection.
How does Fucibet work?
Fucibet contains betamethasone and fusidic acid.
Betamethasone is a topical corticosteroid that is used to reduce inflammation. Skin eczema is usually characterized by skin inflammation caused by the substances released by the immune system. The substances caused the blood vessels to widen, which results in the redness, swelling, pain, and itch in the affected areas.
When betamethasone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the cells to decrease the release of the inflammatory substances, which results in reduced swelling, itch, and redness. Betamethasone is a strong corticosteroid.
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It enters the bacteria cells and interferes with the production of proteins needed by the bacteria to divide and multiply. Fusidic acid does not kill the bacteria; it leaves them unable to divide and multiply. The bacteria eventually die or are annihilated by the immune system. Fucibet treats the bacterial infection that comes with eczema.
What are the benefits of using Fucibet?
Fucibet contains two active ingredients: betamethasone and fusidic acid.
Betamethasone is effective in reducing the inflammation of eczema and other skin conditions. When applied to the skin, betamethasone works inside the skin cells to reduce the production of substances that cause the inflammation. The effects of betamethasone could be seen in reduced swelling, redness, and itching.
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that treats bacterial infection. Bacterial infection usually occurs in eczema. The application of fusidic action in the affected area interferes with the bacteria’s production of protein, which is necessary for division and multiplication. Fusidic acid, while not directly killing the bacteria, causes them to be unable to divide and multiple. The bacteria will eventually die or be killed by the body’s immune system.
Adults should apply Fucibet to the affected areas twice daily.
Fucibet cream is for external use on the skin only. When you first remove the cap, check that the seal is intact. Open the tube using the spike on the cap. You should rub a thin layer gently onto the affected skin.
Fucibet cream normally starts to produce an improvement in symptoms within a couple of days. Fucibet cream can be used for up to two weeks, however, if no improvement is seen after seven days you should discontinue use and see your doctor. Using the cream for longer than 2 weeks increases the chance that bacteria will become resistant to it and it will be ineffective in the future.
