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.

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.
