Fucidin Cream (generic name: fusidic acid) / Fucidin Ointment (generic name: sodium fusidate) are topical antibiotic medications primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. They are is available in two formulations: Fucidin Cream and Fucidin Ointment, each designed for specific types of skin conditions. Fucidin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively targeting and eliminating Staphylococcus aureus and other susceptible bacteria responsible for skin infections. This action helps resolve infections and prevent their spread. Fucidin is indicated for the treatment of various skin infections, including impetigo, infected dermatitis, and infected cuts and grazes.

Fucidin Cream is formulated for treating moist, weeping skin lesions. Its water-based composition allows for easy application and absorption, making it suitable for infected eczema and dermatitis.
Fucidin Ointment is designed for dry, scaly, or crusted lesions. Its oil-based formulation provides a moisturizing effect, beneficial for conditions like impetigo and infected cuts.

Dosage and Administration

Follow the prescribing physician’s instructions. The typical application of Fucidin depends on the formulation and the nature of the infection:

Fucidin Cream: Apply a thin layer to the affected area three to four times daily. This formulation is suitable for moist or weeping lesions due to its lighter, water-based consistency.
Fucidin Ointment: Apply a thin layer to the affected area two to three times daily. The ointment’s oil-based composition is ideal for dry, scaly, or crusted lesions, providing a moisturizing effect.

Application instructions

Clean and dry the affected area gently before application.
Apply a thin layer of the cream or ointment to the infected area.
Wash hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the treated area.

If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered. If it’s near the time for the next application, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to compensate for the missed one.

Storage

Store Fucidin Cream and Ointment at room temperature, below 82°FC (30°C). Keep the medication in its original tube and packaging to protect it from light and moisture. Once opened, the tube should be discarded after three months to ensure effectiveness and prevent contamination.
