Fucibet Cream

What is Fucibet Cream?

Fucibet is a corticosteroid cream for inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema.

It is classed as a topical treatment and when applied to affected areas of the skin, relieves itching, irritation and inflammation caused by these skin problems. Furthermore, it can be used for infected skin problems.

This medicine is safe for adults, children and babies, although you must have a prescription to buy Fucibet Cream. 

What is Fucibet used to treat?

Fucibet Cream is prescribed as a treatment for people who are suffering from inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema or dermatitis.

It can also be used to treat skin infections, which can occur if your skin is cracked or broken when suffering from problems that cause excessively dry skin, like eczema or psoriasis. These conditions can also cause itching, which leads to a risk of infection if you scratch the affected area and make it bleed.

How does Fucibet work?

Fucibet contains two active ingredients: betamethasone valerate, which is a type of corticosteroid, and fusidic acid, which is an antibiotic. These ingredients work together to treat skin inflammation and infection.

Fusidic acid stops bacteria from producing the new proteins it needs to survive and multiply. This stops the infection from spreading. Once the bacteria can no longer spread or multiply, it will either die on its own or your body’s immune system will kill it off.

The corticosteroid works within the skin cells to reduce the release of substances that cause inflammation. This helps to alleviate unpleasant symptoms like inflammation, redness and itchiness.

Why is Fucibet Cream recommended for eczema?

Fucibet Cream provides fast-acting and effective relief from eczema and other skin conditions. Furthermore, the risk of side effects are minimal, making Fucibet suitable for adults and children alike. 

Most people will find that Fucibet has improved their symptoms after a couple of days of use. However, if you have been using the cream for one week and not seen any improvement, you should stop using it and contact your doctor.
