Flusid Cream 10Gm

Flusid Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections.

Uses of Flusid Cream are:

• Impetigo: Treats this bacterial skin infection.
• Infected Wounds: Treats infected cuts and grazes.
• Infected Dermatitis: Treats infected eczema and dermatitis.

To use Flusid Cream correctly, follow these steps:

• Wash and dry the affected skin area.
• Apply a thin layer of the cream.
• Gently rub it into the skin.
• Remember to wash your hands immediately after applying the cream unless you are treating an infection on your hands.
• Avoid getting this medicine in your eyes, mouth or nose. If it does get into these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
• It's essential not to cover the area with airtight dressings or bandages to reduce the risk of side effects. Loose gauze may be used if needed.
• Consult your doctor for specific advice regarding its application.

Flusid Cream is applied topically.

Flusid Cream contains fusidic acid (0.2%), which works on your skin in the following ways:

• Inhibits Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Fusidic acid prevents bacteria from producing proteins essential to their growth and survival. This occurs when it blocks a key step in bacterial protein synthesis.
• Direct Targeting at Site of Infection: Applied directly on the infected skin, the antibiotic can target the bacteria at the very site of infection. The cream base also helps keep the area moist to promote healing.

By acting in these ways, Flusid Cream effectively manages bacterial skin infections.

• Store Flusid Cream below 25°C.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure the cream tube is tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep well out of reach of children and pets.

• Maintain good personal hygiene to prevent bacterial skin infections. This includes regularly washing your hands with soap, keeping your nails short and clean, and avoiding sharing personal items like towels or razors.
• Include foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers in your diet. Vitamin C can help boost your immune system and potentially reduce your susceptibility to bacterial skin infections.
