Used for:

• Bacterial Skin Infections: Fusiderm H cream is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo, infected wounds, infected eczema, and infected hair follicles (folliculitis).
• Anti-Inflammatory: The hydrocortisone component provides anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin inflammation.
• Combination Therapy: By combining an antibiotic with a corticosteroid, Fusiderm H cream can effectively treat both the bacterial infection and the accompanying inflammation.

Side Effects:

• Skin Irritation: Some individuals may experience mild skin irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the site of application. This is typically mild and resolves on its own.
• Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to fusidic acid, hydrocortisone, or other components of the cream are possible, though rare. Seek medical attention if you experience rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
• Thinning of the Skin: Prolonged use of corticosteroids like hydrocortisone can lead to skin thinning, especially if applied to sensitive areas or under occlusive dressings.
• Secondary Infections: Prolonged use of antibiotics like fusidic acid may lead to the growth of resistant bacteria or fungal infections.
• Systemic Effects: While topical use of Fusiderm H cream results in minimal systemic absorption, systemic effects such as allergic reactions or systemic toxicity are possible, especially with prolonged use over large areas of the body.

Precautions:

• Avoid Eye Contact: Fusiderm H cream should not be applied to the eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Use as Directed: Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or on the medication label. Do not use Fusiderm H cream for longer than prescribed or in larger amounts than recommended.
• Underlying Conditions: Inform your doctor about any underlying medical conditions, especially related to the skin or immune system, before using Fusiderm H cream.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with a healthcare professional, as systemic absorption of the medication may occur.
• Children and Elderly: Use in children and elderly individuals should be under the supervision of a healthcare provider, as they may be more susceptible to systemic absorption and potential side effects.

It's important to use Fusiderm H cream exactly as prescribed and to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. If you experience any adverse reactions or have concerns about its use, consult your healthcare provider promptly
