About Sudif Cream

Sudif Cream is used to treat infections of the skin such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), cellulitis (swelling, redness, and pain in the infected area), infected cuts, burns, wounds, grazes, abrasions, ulcers, boils, abscesses, spots, carbuncles (cluster of boils), infected eczema and infected contact dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). 

Sudif Cream contains Fusidic acid, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then, the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection.

Sudif Cream is for external use only. Use Sudif Cream as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Sudif Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation or itching at the site of the application. Most of these side effects of Sudif Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to fusidic acid, other topical antibiotics, or any other ingredients, do not use Sudif Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Sudif Cream may catch fire and burn easily. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before using Sudif Cream. Do not apply Sudif Cream in large amounts or use for a longer time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects and antibiotic resistance and makes skin more sensitive to Sudif Cream.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial skin infection: It occurs when bacteria enter the body through a scratch or cut in the skin. They often begin as small, red bumps that increase in size slowly. Some bacterial infections are mild and can be treated easily with topical antibiotics, but other infections require an oral antibiotic. Different types of bacterial skin infections include impetigo, cellulitis, boils, and Hansen's disease (leprosy). Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection that occurs as yellowish crusts on the arms, face, or legs. Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that causes swelling, redness, and pain in the infected areas of the skin.
