💡 Quick Answer — What is Fucibet Cream?
Fucibet Cream contains fusidic acid 2% + betamethasone valerate 0.1% — a topical corticosteroid + topical antibiotic combination for inflamed bacterial skin infections (impetiginised eczema, infected dermatitis, infected wounds). Apply a thin layer twice daily for 7–14 days. If no improvement at 7 days, reassess. Combination therapy is appropriate only when both inflammation and infection are present; use single-agent therapy where one component is sufficient.

What Fucibet Cream is and how it works
Fucibet Cream contains fusidic acid 2% + betamethasone valerate 0.1%. Fusidic acid is a topical antibiotic effective against most staphylococci (including methicillin-resistant strains in many regions) and streptococci; it works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis at elongation factor G. Betamethasone is a potent topical corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation. The combination is used for inflamed bacterial skin infections — typically infected eczema, infected dermatitis, and impetiginised lesions. Manufacturer: LEO Pharma / Cipla (WHO-GMP certified).
Indications
- Infected eczema with crusting, oozing, or impetiginisation.
- Infected dermatitis — atopic, contact, or seborrhoeic with secondary bacterial colonisation.
- Folliculitis with significant inflammation.
- Impetigo superimposed on inflamed skin.
How to apply
- Wash hands. Apply a thin layer to affected skin twice daily.
- Course: 7–14 days. Reassess at 7 days; if no improvement, swab for culture and review the diagnosis.
- Avoid face (perioral dermatitis, rosacea risk) and skin folds without guidance.
- Do not use occlusive dressings.
- Limit to small body areas; total weekly amount should not exceed 50 g in adults.
⚠️ Antibiotic stewardship — Fusidic acid resistance increases with prolonged or repeated use. Limit courses to 14 days and avoid prophylactic use. For non-inflamed bacterial skin infection, single-agent topical antibiotic is preferred.
Side effects
- Common: burning, stinging, dryness, mild irritation at the application site.
- Less common: contact dermatitis (more common with fusidic acid), folliculitis, secondary infection with resistant organisms.
- Rare: skin atrophy and HPA-axis suppression with prolonged or extensive use, telangiectasia, striae.
Contraindications
- Untreated viral or fungal skin infection.
- Acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis.
- Hypersensitivity to corticosteroids or to the antibiotic component.
- Children under 12 without specialist guidance.
- Pregnancy — limit use to small areas, short courses.
Storage
Store below 25 °C. Keep tube tightly closed.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use Fucibet Cream rather than a single-agent product?
When inflammation AND bacterial infection are both clinically present. For uninfected eczema, a steroid alone is sufficient. For uninflamed bacterial infection (impetigo, folliculitis), a topical antibiotic alone is appropriate. Combination therapy is for the overlap.
How long until I see improvement?
Reduction in redness, oozing, and crusting within 3–7 days; full resolution by 10–14 days. If no improvement at 7 days, swab for culture.
Can I use Fucibet Cream on my face?
Use with caution — the steroid component can cause perioral dermatitis and rosacea, and the antibiotic can sensitise. Prefer a milder steroid + single antibiotic for facial use, under specialist guidance.
Is Fucibet Cream safe in pregnancy?
Use only when clinically necessary, on small areas, for short durations. Fusidic acid has limited pregnancy data. Discuss with prescriber.
What if the rash returns after treatment?
Recurrent infection often signals an underlying skin barrier problem (eczema, dermatitis). Treat the underlying condition with appropriate non-antibiotic therapy and reserve topical antibiotics for confirmed infection.
Can I use Fucibet Cream for acne?
No — combinations of steroid + antibiotic worsen acne in the long run via steroid-induced rosacea and antibiotic resistance.
Is resistance a real concern?
Yes. Fusidic acid resistance in S. aureus has risen in regions with widespread use; alternate with non-fusidic options where possible.
Should I cover the area?
No — occlusion multiplies steroid absorption and increases atrophy and HPA-suppression risk. Leave open to air.
How much should I use per application?
A thin film — pea-sized for a small lesion, fingertip unit for a hand-sized area.
Can I use it on broken skin?
Limited use on small breaks is acceptable; avoid extensive use on ulcers or open wounds (systemic absorption risk).
