Product introduction
FUCIbet Cream is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions where a bacterial infection is present or likely to occur. It relieves inflammation and reduces redness, swelling, and itching. It also controls infection, allowing the skin to heal more effectively.
Apply a small amount of FUCIbet Cream to the affected area as instructed by the doctor. Using the medicine exactly as prescribed helps control symptoms while reducing the risk of side effects. Keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid unnecessary covering or bandaging of the skin to help improve treatment outcomes.
The most common side effect of FUCIbet Cream is itching. Some people may also experience mild side effects such as a burning sensation, dryness, redness, or irritation at the application site. These effects are usually temporary and improve as treatment continues or once the medicine is stopped. If irritation becomes uncomfortable or worsens, reduce the frequency or stop the medicine and consult your doctor.
FUCIbet Cream should be used only for a short period, as prolonged or excessive use may lead to thinning of the skin or increased absorption of the steroid. It should not be used on untreated viral or fungal skin infections, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or skin conditions related to tuberculosis. Care should be taken when applying near the eyes, as accidental contact may increase the risk of eye problems such as glaucoma.

How FUCIbet Cream works
FUCIbet Cream is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Fusidic Acid. Betamethasone is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic and helps stop bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Quick tips
- FUCIbet Cream helps treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis that are also infected by bacteria.
- It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
- Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
- Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
