Fudic Cream is used for managing the following conditions:

• Primary skin infections caused by sensitive bacterial strains

• Secondary skin infections originating from sensitive bacterial species

• Impetigo, a contagious skin infection leading to sores and blisters

• Infected dermatitis, a condition where the skin becomes inflamed due to an allergic reaction

• Folliculitis, inflammation of hair follicles due to a bacterial or fungal infection

• Furunculosis, a skin condition characterised by the formation of painful boils

• Erythrasma, a chronic infection of the top layer of the skin

• Infected minor wounds, cuts and abrasions that need topical antibiotic care.

To use Fudic Cream correctly:

• Make sure your hands and the affected area are clean and dry before application.

• Apply a thin layer of cream gently on the affected area.

• Use your fingertip or a clean cotton swab for application.

• Gently massage until the cream is fully absorbed into the skin.

• Remember to wash your hands after applying the cream.

• If you're unsure about anything, it's best to consult your doctor.

Fudic Cream is applied topically.

Fudic Cream contains fusidic acid (2%). This component acts in the body in the following ways:

• Binds to EF-G: Fusidic acid works by attaching itself to a bacterial protein called elongation factor G (EF-G). This protein is essential for the bacteria to form new proteins.

• Prevents protein synthesis: By binding with EF-G on the ribosome (a part of bacterial cells), fusidic acid stops EF-G from releasing from the ribosome. This action inhibits protein synthesis.

• Controls infection spread: The binding and inhibition of protein synthesis impair bacterial growth. This action helps control the spread of infection, allowing your body's immune defences to eliminate the remaining bacteria.

• Store Fudic Cream at room temperature, ideally between 15°C to 30°C.

• Keep the cream in its original, tightly sealed container.

• Avoid exposure to direct heat and moisture; do not refrigerate or freeze.

• Keep Fudic Cream out of reach of children.

• Check and adhere to the printed expiry date, discarding any leftover cream 28 days after first opening.

• If you have skin infections managed by Fudic Cream, ensure you maintain good personal hygiene. Regularly wash your hands with soap and clean warm water to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria.

• Avoid scratching or picking at infected areas on your skin. This can exacerbate irritation and could potentially spread the infection further.
