Description
Fsid Fusidic Acid 2% Topical Antibacterial Cream 15g
Fsid Cream by Derma Tecno is a topical antibiotic with potent antibacterial properties. Fusidic Acid is renowned for its activity against various gram-positive organisms. Staphylococci, even those resistant to penicillin or other antibiotics, are particularly susceptible to Fsid's effects. Fsid Cream can penetrate infection sites, even through intact skin.
Indications
Fsid Cream is indicated for treating skin infections caused by staphylococci, streptococci, Propionibacterium acnes, Corynebacterium minutissimum, and other organisms sensitive to fusidic acid. It effectively addresses:
- Impetigo
- Boils and carbuncles
- Paronychia
- Sycosis barbae
- Erythrasma
- Acne vulgaris
Fsid Cream is cosmetically acceptable for treating facial and scalp infections.
Precautions and Usage Guidelines
- Avoid Fsid if you are allergic to fusidic acid or its components.
- Prolonged or recurrent use of fusidic acid may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.
- Fsid Cream contains certain excipients that could cause local skin reactions; use caution when applying it near the eyes.
- Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are using other medicines, as no significant interactions are expected with Fsid.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, seek advice from your healthcare provider before using Fsid. While it's considered safe during pregnancy, it is recommended to avoid applying it on the breast if breastfeeding.
How to Use
Apply Fsid Cream to the affected area 2–3 times daily for around 7 days. The nature of the condition may require extending therapy for acne treatment.
