Fucibet Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause disease. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some eczema types can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin. 

Fucibet Cream is composed of two medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patches of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Fucibet Cream has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you face any other symptoms or the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Fucibet Cream or other medications. Do not use Fucibet Cream on thin skin, skin ulcers, broken veins or acne without a doctor's advice. Do not apply tight dressings and bandages on the skin's affected areas after using Fucibet Cream unless the doctor advises. Fucibet Cream is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Do not use Fucibet Cream on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips or genitals if the doctor did not advise you. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Fucibet Cream.
