Product introduction

Apply a small amount of Fusacort Gel 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 Fusacort Gel 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.


Fusacort Gel 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.

Benefits of Fusacort Gel

Treatment of Inflammatory skin conditions
Fusacort Gel is beneficial for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions where bacterial infection is present or likely to occur. It helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with skin inflammation, while simultaneously controlling susceptible bacterial infection at the affected site. This helps support faster symptom relief, promotes healing, and helps prevent worsening of infected inflammatory dermatoses.

Side effects of Fusacort Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

  • Itching

How to use Fusacort Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Fusacort Gel works

Fusacort Gel 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

  • Fusacort Gel 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.
  • Consult your doctor if your skin condition has not improved after two weeks of treatment.
  • Do not use it for longer than prescribed, as prolonged or repeated use can cause the skin to become over-sensitive to the medicine and may also result in the bacteria becoming resistant to the antibiotic.

Frequently asked questions

Fusacort Gel should be used as advised by the doctor or as per the instructions on the label of the medicine. Apply a thin layer of Fusacort Gel to cover the affected areas. The dose would depend on the condition for which it is prescribed. Wash your hands after using Fusacort Gel, unless it is used for treating an infection of the hands. Avoid contact with the eyes.
No, do not stop using Fusacort Gel and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
Fusacort Gel should not be used on the face, and contact with the eyes should be avoided. Do not apply a bandage or dressing on the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the medicine and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used for the condition it is prescribed for. Do not use it for any other condition without consulting your doctor. Do not give it to other people, even if their condition appears to be the same.
The dosage and duration of using Fusacort Gel should be strictly according to the doctor’s advice. This medicine, when used in higher doses and for longer periods, can be absorbed in the blood and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can cause weight gain, high blood pressure, and rounding of the face. Its application can cause a change in the color of the skin at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become visible due to the thinning and weakening of the skin. There could be an increased hair growth. If you experience an increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
Use of Fusacort Gel is considered to be harmful for patients with known allergy to any of the components or excipients of this medicine. Avoid its use in case of any fungal infections (ringworm or athlete's foot), viral infections (herpes or chickenpox), or for the treatment of acne or rosacea. Consult your doctor before using it for any condition.
