FAQs
Is Melas-H Cream available without a prescription?
No. Melas-H Cream is a prescription-only (Rx) medication. A valid prescription from a registered dermatologist or doctor is required.
What conditions does Melas-H Cream treat?
It is specifically indicated for eczema and dermatitis (atopic eczema, allergic dermatitis) with secondary bacterial infection, particularly where Staphylococci are involved.
How long should I use Melas-H Cream?
A single course should not exceed 2 weeks. Complete the full prescribed course even if the skin improves — stopping early may allow the infection to return and can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
What is the difference between Melas Cream and Melas-H Cream?
Melas Cream contains Fusidic Acid 2% only. Melas-H Cream adds Hydrocortisone Acetate 1%, making it suitable for infected inflammatory skin conditions like eczema and dermatitis where both infection control and inflammation relief are needed.
Can Melas-H Cream be used on the face?
Exercise caution. Prolonged use on the face is not recommended due to the risk of skin thinning from the corticosteroid component. Use only as directed by your doctor.
