Fumacid Cream 10gm is used for managing the following conditions:

Using Fumacid Cream 10gm requires some simple steps:

• For exact usage directions and duration, always consult your doctor.

Fumacid Cream 10gm is applied topically.

Fumacid Cream 10gm contains fusidic acid (2%), which influences your body through these mechanisms:

• Bacterial Protein Synthesis Inhibition: Fusidic acid works by binding itself to an essential bacterial protein called elongation factor G (EF-G). This protein is vital for bacteria, as they require it to synthesize new proteins that aid their growth and spread.

• Halts Bacterial Growth: By attaching itself to EF-G, fusidic acid prevents a key step in bacterial protein synthesis called translocation. As a result, the growth of bacteria is stopped, curbing the spread of infection. This allows your body's immune system to eliminate the remaining bacteria effectively.

• Store Fumacid Cream 10gm at a cool room temperature below 25°C.

• Do not freeze.

• Keep it away from direct heat, light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use to avoid any contamination.

• Keep it out of reach and sight of children for safety.

• Maintain good personal hygiene, including regular hand washing, to prevent further skin infections, as Fumacid Cream 10gm is used for managing bacterial skin infections.

• A balanced diet rich in vitamins A, E, and C can help promote healthy skin. These nutrients aid in repairing damaged skin tissue and preventing infection.
