About Execare-F Cream

Execare-F Cream is a combination medicine used to treat bacterial skin infections such as impetigo (swollen skin patches), folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), paronychia (infection around fingernails), sycosis barbae (infection of bearded skin), and erythrasma (infection of the skin). Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. Execare-F Cream does not treat viral or fungal skin infections.
 
Execare-F Cream is a combination of two medicines, namely: Fusidic acid (antibiotic) and Halometasone (steroid). Fusidic acid works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Halometasone works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Together, Execare-F Cream helps in treating skin infections.
 
You are advised to use Execare-F Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as irritation, itching, burning sensation, and redness at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Do not use Execare-F Cream if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor before using Execare-F Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Execare-F Cream in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not apply Execare-F Cream on children’s skin unless prescribed by the doctor. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and the medicines you are taking to rule out any side effects.
