Fucidin Cream 2% Topical Antibiotic (30g) — DIN 00586668
Fucidin Cream 2% (DIN 00586668) is a highly effective, prescription-strength topical antibiotic manufactured by LEO Pharma Inc. It is formulated with 2% fusidic acid to combat primary and secondary bacterial skin infections by stopping the growth of susceptible bacteria.
Unlike greasy ointments, this water-in-oil cream emulsion features a clean, white, and non-greasy base. This makes it the ideal choice for moist, weeping, or acute skin lesions, face applications, and infections located within delicate skin folds.
Primary Clinical Indications
Fucidin Cream 2% is indicated for the treatment of localized skin infections caused by sensitive bacterial strains, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp, and Corynebacterium minutissimum. Common uses include:
- Impetigo Contagiosa: Quickly targets weeping, crusty, and swollen superficial skin patches.
- Erythrasma: Treats brown, scaly patches typically found in friction-heavy skin folds like the armpits or under the breasts.
- Secondary Infections: Effectively treats infected traumatic wounds, minor cuts, scrapes, and infected superficial burns.

- Important Usage Duration: To prevent the development of drug-resistant bacteria, limit continuous therapy to a period of 7 to 14 days unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
