How Fucidin Cream Works

• The topical antibiotic Fusidic acid, found in this topical cream, works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria.
• This stops the bacteria's ability to grow and multiply.
• Fusidic acid is the active ingredient in Fucidin Cream, and has the ability to stop the production of proteins that bacteria need to survive.
• Therefore, the way Fucidin Cream works is to kill many different types of bacteria that can cause infections on the skin.

How to Use Fucidin Cream

• Using Fucidin Cream correctly will allow the individual to get the most benefit from it. Thoroughly clean and dry the affected area before applying Fucidin Cream. Apply a thin layer of Fucidin Cream directly onto the infected area as instructed by your doctor. Fucidin Cream is normally applied three to four times per day.
• Always wash your hands before and after using Fucidin Cream unless you are applying to the hands. Stop using Fucidin Cream when you finish your prescribed course, even if you feel better before completing it. Unless specifically directed by your doctor, do not put any type of airtight dressing over the treated area.
• If you forget to use Fucidin Cream, use it when you remember unless it is time for the next dose. Do not use two doses at the same time; continue as normal after that.
