Description
Fucidin is a topical antibiotic used to treat skin infections caused by certain bacteria. It contains fusidic acid, a steroid-like antibiotic that works by inhibiting the bacterial protein synthesis process, effectively stopping the growth and spread of bacteria.
Fucidin is commonly prescribed for localized skin infections such as impetigo, infected eczema, folliculitis, furuncles (boils), infected ulcers, and infected insect bites.
It helps reduce redness, inflammation, swelling, and discharge caused by the infection. It does not have antifungal or antiviral properties, so it’s not effective for infections caused by fungi or viruses.
The main benefits of Fucidin include its high efficacy against bacteria, fast symptom relief, and good skin tolerance. It is suitable for short-term use and may be used with or without dressings depending on the severity and location of the lesion. It is especially useful when systemic antibiotics are not required or to avoid oral antibiotic use.
