FAQs
Is a prescription required for Fucort-B Cream?
Yes. Fucort-B Cream (Fusidic Acid 2% + Betamethasone 0.1%) is a prescription-only potent combination cream. Consult a dermatologist before use.
What conditions does Fucort-B Cream treat?
Fucort-B treats eczematous dermatoses with secondary bacterial infection, including atopic eczema, discoid eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, primary irritant dermatitis, psoriasis, and discoid lupus erythematosus.
How long can I use Fucort-B Cream?
A single treatment course should not exceed 2 weeks. Prolonged use of potent corticosteroids can cause skin thinning, stretch marks, and systemic effects. Always follow your doctor's guidance.
Can Fucort-B Cream be used on the face?
It should not be used on facial skin conditions like rosacea, acne vulgaris, or perioral dermatitis. Consult your doctor before applying near the face.
What are the possible side effects?
Local side effects may include application site irritation, folliculitis, hypertrichosis, allergic contact dermatitis, or depigmentation. Prolonged use risks skin atrophy and systemic corticosteroid effects.
Can Fucort-B Cream be used during pregnancy?
Consult your doctor. Large amounts or prolonged use of potent corticosteroids during pregnancy may have adverse effects.
Why is an antibiotic combined with a steroid in Fucort-B?
In inflamed, eczematous skin, secondary bacterial infections commonly develop. Fucort-B addresses both the inflammation (Betamethasone) and the bacterial infection (Fusidic Acid) simultaneously.
