Composition

Betamethasone (0.12 %) + Fusidic Acid (2 %)

Fusiderm B Cream is primarily used to manage inflammatory skin conditions, like eczema and dermatitis, when bacterial infections complicate them. It is a combination medicine consisting of corticosteroids and antibiotics.

In addition to its primary use, this cream effectively reduces inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching associated with these skin conditions. Simultaneously, it combats the bacterial infection that exacerbates these issues.

You should apply this cream as directed by your doctor. Before using it, inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you are taking. Immediately notify your doctor if you experience any side effects while using this cream. You must continue using the cream for the duration your doctor prescribes, even if your symptoms improve before the said time.

Directions for Use of Fusiderm B Cream 15gm

Here are the directions to use Fusiderm B Cream:

Ensure your hands and the affected skin are clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the cream to cover the affected areas.
Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

Fusiderm B Cream might cause the following side effects:

Burning sensation at the site of application
Itching
Irritation
Dryness of skin
Skin discolouration
Skin thinning

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, resolved by discontinuing Fusiderm B Cream. However, if you experience severe side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are a couple of tips to manage common side effects:

Dry skin: To manage dryness, apply a non-medicated moisturiser to your skin after applying the cream, allowing some time for it to fully absorb.
Itching: Try not to scratch the affected area; doing so can worsen the itching and cause a skin infection.

Fusiderm B Cream contains two active ingredients:

Betamethasone (0.12%): A corticosteroid, betamethasone suppresses the production of inflammatory chemicals called prostaglandins in the body. This action helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching on the skin.
Fusidic Acid (2%): This active ingredient is an antibiotic that targets the bacteria causing the skin infection. It inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, which halts their growth and aids in managing the infection.

Pregnancy

While using Fusiderm B Cream during pregnancy, caution is advised. It is recommended to discuss with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

The safety of Fusiderm B Cream during lactation is not fully understood. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Alcohol

There's no known interaction between Fusiderm B Cream and alcohol. However, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Liver

Fusiderm B Cream doesn't usually interact with liver diseases. Nevertheless, if you have liver problems, it would be wise to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

There's no specific cautionary advice regarding the use of Fusiderm B Cream in case of kidney health issues. If you have any kidney problems, it's advisable to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Generally, Fusiderm B Cream doesn't interfere with your ability to drive or operate machinery. Always follow the directions of use for safe application.

Allergy

Do not use Fusiderm B Cream if you are allergic to betamethasone or fusidic acid or any other ingredients present in the formulation. If you experience an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your doctor immediately.

Children

Caution is advised when applying Fusiderm B Cream to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Fusiderm B Cream under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Fusiderm B Cream interacts with the following medicines:

Topical Medications: Other topical medications may interact with Fusiderm B Cream when used on the same skin areas. The betamethasone in this cream can cause skin thinning, potentially increasing the absorption of other topical medicines and enhancing their effects and side effects.

Drug-Food Interactions

No known food interactions have been reported with Fusiderm B Cream. This is because it is a topical medicine applied directly to the skin, rather than taken orally.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Fusiderm B Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Viral Skin Infections: Fusiderm B Cream should not be applied to skin areas affected by viral infections like chickenpox or herpes, as it can exacerbate these conditions.
Fungal Skin Infections: Fusiderm B Cream is not suitable for managing fungal skin infections, as it contains betamethasone and fusidic acid.
Acne, Rosacea and Perioral Dermatitis: These skin conditions may worsen when Fusiderm B Cream is applied. It's important to avoid using this medicine for these conditions unless specifically advised by your doctor.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate daily dosage of Fusiderm B Cream, taking into account your condition's severity and your response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage.

Over Dose

Applying too much Fusiderm B Cream might cause a burning sensation, itching, dryness, or irritation at the application site. If you experience such symptoms, inform your doctor promptly.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Fusiderm B Cream, do so as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and resume your routine.

Store Fusiderm B Cream at room temperature, ideally between 20-25 degrees Celsius.
Please keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Remember always to keep the tube tightly closed when not in use.
Ensure this medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children.
Make sure to use it before the expiry date mentioned on the pack.

Maintaining good hygiene is critical to managing skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis. Regular washing with a gentle soap helps remove bacteria from your skin.
Stay hydrated and incorporate a diet rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish, walnuts, and chia seeds), which can help reduce inflammation and may support skin health. Always consult your doctor before significantly changing your diet or lifestyle.
