Fucidin H cream is a dual-action treatment for skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis. It is of particular therapeutic use if the skin has become broken and infected.

After you buy Fucidin H cream for skin infections and other skin conditions, you will need to complete a short assessment so we can ensure it is suitable for you. Pricing is provided as a reference only. The final decision on issuing Fucidin H cream remains with our Prescriber / Pharmacist.

When to use Fucidin H Ointment

Dealing with eczema or psoriasis alone can be challenging, but infections will worsen your symptoms. Fucidin H Cream was developed to be a comprehensive solution that suits all of your needs. As a specialised treatment, it combines two powerful ingredients to treat the infection and soothe your symptoms.

If you don't currently have an infection, we recommend a gentler treatment designed to relieve general eczema and psoriasis.

Age Restrictions:

Please note that the cream is only suitable for adults 18 and over. If your child has symptoms of an infected eczema flare-up, please ask your pharmacist for a suitable alternative.

How to use Fucidin H Cream

Please follow these instructions when using the cream and refer to the patient information leaflet for further clarification:

  • Wash your hands with soap and water before and after each application.
  • Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin area twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening.
  • Gently rub the cream into the skin until absorbed.
  • Be careful to avoid any contact with the mouth and eyes. If it does happen, rinse them thoroughly with water.
  • Please don't use a bandage to cover the affected area unless your doctor advises otherwise.
  • Use Fucidin H Cream as your doctor prescribes and complete the full course of treatment.

When to avoid using Fucidin H

If any of the following apply to you, it's essential to refrain from using Fucidin H Cream and opt for an alternative treatment:

  • You're sensitive or allergic to any of its ingredients.
  • You have acne or rosacea symptoms (a condition that causes redness and irritation)
  • The rash is around your mouth or chin
  • You have a severe skin infection that's impacted large areas
  • There's no sign of infection

Precautions

Fucidin H is a powerful, highly effective treatment for infected eczema. However, it's important to remember that it's not suitable for everyone. Taking the following precautions ensures you use the cream responsibly:

  • Don't use the cream longer than your doctor prescribes, as extended use can cause side effects.
  • Avoid using the cream on large areas, as this can also increase the risk and severity of side effects.
  • Consult your healthcare provider when pregnant or breastfeeding, as it might not be safe to use Fucidin H Cream.
  • Inform your doctor of any medical conditions, including liver problems and diabetes. It's also important to check whether your prescription medicines, supplements and herbal treatments might interact with the cream's ingredients.

Ingredients

Fucidin H cream contains two active ingredients that work together to give your skin relief of symptoms:

  • Fusidic Acid: Fusidic acid cream is an antibacterial agent that treats bacterial skin infections by decreasing bacteria growth and killing present cells.
  • Hydrocortisone: One of the milder steroid creams, hydrocortisone, creates an immune response in the body to reduce discomfort, swelling, and inflammation.

As a dual-action cream, Fucidin H provides rapid relief, helping to heal infected skin and restore comfort so you can quickly return to feeling your best.

Most people have no issues with Fucidin H Cream, but it can cause side effects. These effects are mostly local to the application area and relatively mild. They include skin irritation and dryness.

In some cases, your eczema symptoms might worsen, but this is rare. If the symptoms worsen or you notice an allergic reaction, please stop usage and contact your doctor immediately:

Leaflets

Before taking any medicine, such as Fucidin H cream, regardless of whether it is over-the-counter or prescription-only, it is essential to always read the patient information leaflet. Please contact our registered pharmacists if you have any questions.
