Inflamed bacterial skin infections such as infected eczema/dermatitis, impetigo, infected insect bites and minor infected wounds where both infection and inflammation are present
How It 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.
