CompositionFusigen Ointment is used to treat bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, cellulitis, and erythrasma. This topical prescription therapy directly targets infected lesions to manage swelling, redness, and localised discomfort. It acts as a primary barrier to prevent the secondary spread of harmful microbes across the skin surface.
This medication contains Sodium Fusidate as its active ingredient, a potent antibiotic that works by disrupting bacterial protein synthesis. By blocking the production of essential proteins required for survival, it stops the growth and reproduction of bacteria. This clinical action halts the progression of the infection and supports natural tissue repair.
Keeping the affected area clean and dry, avoiding tight or occlusive dressings, and washing your hands before and after application can help the skin heal and prevent the infection from spreading.
The treatment helps accelerate skin healing and helps that the protective cutaneous barrier is restored efficiently. It is vital to complete the full course of application as prescribed by your doctor, even if the symptoms subside early, to prevent antibiotic resistance. Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before use, and consult your healthcare provider if you experience persistent site irritation.
