How Fucibet Cream works
Fusidic acid is a topical antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by blocking elongation factor G, active mainly against Staphylococcus species. Betamethasone valerate is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching by suppressing local immune and inflammatory mediators.
How to take Fucibet Cream
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area usually 2-3 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Use for the shortest duration needed; avoid applying on face, groin or under occlusion unless prescribed; wash hands after application.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can cause weight gain, high blood sugar, bone thinning and suppression of the body's own steroid production when it is taken over a prolonged period. It is unlikely from skin use. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
