Product introduction

Fusiderm Cream should be used in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. This medicine is for external use only. Use it regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need, as it won’t clear your condition faster, and some side effects may be increased. The affected area should be cleaned and dried before applying the medicine. You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine.

Common side effects of Fusiderm Cream include a burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness immediately following application over the affected area. However, these are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they do not resolve or persist for a longer duration.

Avoid direct contact with your eyes. In case of accidental contact, wash your eyes immediately with water and seek medical attention. 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. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

This treatment has few common side effects and should clear up infections within a few days, but you should keep using it for as long as it is prescribed.
