Fucibet

Fucibet is a medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin such as eczema or dermatitis. Eczema can sometimes become very inflamed, irritated, and infected and will need a different type of treatment when it gets to this stages. This medicine contains two key ingredients called fusidic acid which is a type of antibiotic and betamethasone valerate which is a type of corticosteroid. It is used to reduce the painful and uncomfortable symptoms of these skin conditions and eventually clear the infection.

How does Fucibet work?

The two active ingredients in Fucibet, fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate, work together to help reduce the symptoms and clear the infection. The antibiotic kills the bacteria which causes the infection, eczema is commonly infected with the bacterium known as Staphylococcus aureus. This bacteria can worsen eczema and make it difficult to heal if left untreated. Fusidic acid helps to kill the bacteria and clear the infection.

Corticosteroids work by stopping the skin cells from releasing an inflammatory response when the immune system is exposed to a trigger or allergen. Betamethasone valerate (a corticosteroid) reduces swelling, redness, and itchiness of eczema.

Who is suitable for Fucibet?

Fucibet is suitable for adults and children who have been diagnosed with a common skin infection such as eczema or dermatitis. As this medicine contains a corticosteroid and antibiotic it may only be used when the condition is severe and is infected, as overuse of these substances is not recommended. Mild cases of these skin conditions may be treated with other methods such as emollients before using steroid creams.

How to use Fucibet cream

Always follow the instructions when using antibiotics and topical steroids and follow the instructions given by your doctor. Before applying the cream make sure that the affected area is clean and dry as well as your hands, you can then apply a thin layer of Fucibet cream to the affected area twice a day, preferably during the morning and in the evening. Use your finger tip as a guide to how much cream you should use. Your doctor may suggest using a bandage or other type of dressing with the cream but not everyone will be suitable for this as it increases the amount of absorption. After applying the cream wash your hands thoroughly to prevent transferring the cream to an area that isn’t affected unless your hands are the affected area, in which case let the cream soak in.

How long does Fucibet cream take to work and is it effective?

Treatment with Fucibet cream is usually up to 2 weeks but you should start seeing an improvement in your skin condition after 7 days, if you don’t then you must stop using the cream and see your doctor. If used correctly Fucibet is a very effective treatment for clearing skin infections associated with eczema and dermatitis, and helping these skin conditions to heal and clear. Short term use of this medicine and proper management of the condition means that you’ll avoid needing to use steroids long term.
