Fsid-H Cream: Effective Relief for Skin Conditions  

Introduction  

Fsid-H Cream is a unique combination of Fusidic Acid and Hydrocortisone Acetate, offering a powerful solution for various skin conditions. In this article, we’ll delve into the composition, properties, indications, precautions, and usage guidelines of Fsid-H Cream to help you make
informed decisions about its application.

Composition  

Each gram of Fsid-H Cream contains 20mg of Fusidic Acid BP and 10mg of Hydrocortisone Acetate BP. This composition combines the potent antibacterial properties of Fusidic Acid with the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects of Hydrocortisone Acetate.

Properties  

Fsid-H Cream’s unique formula makes it effective against a range of microorganisms, including Staphylococci, Streptococci, Corynebacteria, Neisseria, certain Clostridia, and Bacteroides. This makes it an excellent choice for treating a variety of skin conditions.

Indications

• Fsid-H Cream is specifically indicated for:
•  Eczema and dermatitis with secondary infections
•  Atopic dermatitis
•  Allergic dermatitis
•  Seborrhoeic dermatitis
•  Primary irritant dermatitis
• Dosage and Application

The frequency of application depends on whether the lesions are covered or uncovered:  

•  Uncovered lesions: Apply Fsid-H 34 times daily.
•  Covered lesions: Less frequent applications are sufficient.

Precautions

It’s important to exercise caution when using Fsid-H Cream:

Avoid long term continuous therapy, especially on the face, flexures, intertriginous areas, and
in infants and children.

Topical steroids should not be extensively used during pregnancy, as systemic absorption may
lead to fetal abnormalities in animals.

Hypersensitivity to any component of the cream is a contraindication.

Adverse Reactions

While hypersensitivity is rare, prolonged and intensive treatment with Fsid-H may cause local atrophic changes in the skin, including striae, thinning, and dilatation of superficial blood vessels, particularly in occlusive dressing or skin fold areas. Systemic absorption, sufficient to produce hypercorticism/adrenal suppression, can occur with prolonged or extensive use, especially in infants and children. Caution is necessary when applying topical steroids near the eye, as it may lead to glaucoma if the cream enters the eye.

Instructions

Store Fsid-H Cream at a controlled room temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C. Keep it out of reach of children, and remember that it should only be used under the prescription of a registered medical practitioner (RMP).

Conclusion  

Fsid-H Cream is a versatile solution for various skin conditions, offering a combination of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. By understanding its composition, properties, indications, precautions, and usage guidelines, you can effectively address skin issues with confidence and safety.
