Fusiwin Cream 5GM

Cream

Bacterial skin infections (especially staphylococcal) such as impetigo, infected eczema/dermatitis, folliculitis, boils/furuncles, infected wounds/cuts and minor skin infections as advised by a doctor

Fusidic acid is a topical antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by preventing translocation on the ribosome (via elongation factor G). This stops growth of susceptible bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus species, helping clear skin infection.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 2–3 times daily or as prescribed. Use for the full duration advised; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and inside nose unless directed. Wash hands before and after application.

Burning or stinging at application site, itching, redness, dryness, skin irritation, rash, contact dermatitis

Do not use if allergic to fusidic acid or any ingredient. Avoid prolonged or repeated use and large-area application unless advised, as it may promote antibiotic resistance. Use with caution on broken skin and near eyes; stop and seek medical advice if severe irritation, swelling, or signs of allergy occur. Not for fungal/viral skin infections. In infants/children use only on medical advice.

No significant interactions expected with topical use; avoid combining with other topical irritants on the same area unless advised. Inform doctor if using other topical medicines on the same site.

Store below 25°C, protect from heat and direct light. Keep tube tightly closed and out of reach of children.
