Product Description
Hydrocortisone acetate and fusidic acid cream is a topical medication used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and bacterial skin infections. Hydrocortisone acetate is a steroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching, while fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by killing bacteria.
The cream is applied to the affected area of the skin two to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to use the cream for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning.
Possible side effects of hydrocortisone acetate and fusidic acid cream may include skin irritation, burning, stinging, redness, itching, or dryness at the application site. Prolonged use of this medication may increase the risk of developing secondary infections or skin thinning, so it is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions closely.
It is important to note that this cream should not be used to treat viral or fungal skin infections, or to treat acne. If you experience any unusual symptoms while using this medication, or if your symptoms do not improve, you should contact your healthcare provider.
