FAQs
Is a prescription required for Fucort-H Cream?
Yes. Fucort-H Cream (Fusidic Acid + Hydrocortisone Acetate) is a prescription-only combination cream. Consult a dermatologist before use.
How does Fucort-H differ from Fucort-B?
Fucort-H contains Hydrocortisone Acetate (a mild corticosteroid), while Fucort-B contains Betamethasone 0.1% (a potent corticosteroid). Fucort-H has a milder steroid component, making it more suitable for certain patient groups including older children and more sensitive skin areas.
What conditions does Fucort-H treat?
Fucort-H treats dermatitis and eczema with bacterial infection — including primary irritant dermatitis, contact allergic dermatitis, atopic eczema, infantile eczema, discoid eczema, stasis eczema, and seborrhoeic dermatitis.
Can Fucort-H be used in children?
It has shown no increased adverse effects in children aged 3 and above. It is not recommended for children under 3 years. Use only as directed by a doctor.
How long should I use Fucort-H Cream?
Treatment should not exceed 2 weeks. Consider a shorter course if symptoms improve early. Prolonged use of any corticosteroid can cause skin thinning and other effects.
Can Fucort-H be used on sensitive areas or under dressings?
Caution is required when applying to extensive skin areas, sensitive areas (face, skin folds), or under occlusive dressings — increased absorption may cause adrenal suppression.
Is Fucort-H safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Safety during pregnancy and lactation is undetermined. Use should weigh benefits versus risks. Consult your doctor before use.
