Fusivac B Cream 10 gm

Fusivac B Cream 10 gm belongs to the class of medications called ‘dermatological agents’ used to treat skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up, and itchy.

Fusivac B Cream 10 gm is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Fusidic acid. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid and anti-inflammatory agent that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

You should use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. Fusivac B Cream 10 gm may cause side effects such as itching, dryness, redness, irritation, stretch marks, acne, hair growth, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you notice any other symptoms or the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Do not use Fusivac B Cream 10 gm if you are allergic to Beclometasone, Fusidic acid, or any other ingredients present in it. Fusivac B Cream 10 gm is not recommended for use in conditions such as rosacea (a skin condition affecting the face), acne, skin atrophy (thinning of the skin), wounds, or broken skin. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Psoriasis: Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by red, itchy, and scaly rashes. This condition occurs when skin cells grow and build up rapidly resulting in scaly rashes. It is a chronic disease and doesn’t have a permanent cure. So, to avoid flare-ups of the disease, avoid triggers such as stress and cold.
