Overview
NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you.
What is Fucibet Cream?
Fucibet Cream Highlights..
- Combination drug: It contains two active ingredients with distinct functions.
- Topical application: It's a cream for external use on the skin.
- Target conditions: It treats specific skin issues, including inflammation, eczema, and dermatitis.
- It addresses bacterial infection alongside these conditions.
Fucibet Cream: a prescription medication combining an antibiotic and a corticosteroid to treat eczema-related skin conditions with suspected bacterial infection.
How does Fucibet Cream work?
Fucibet contains two different types of medicine that work at the same time in different ways.
- A corticosteroid (betamethasone valerate): to reduce redness, swelling, and itching.
- An antibiotic (fucidic acid): works by inhibiting protein synthesis, which leads to bacterial stasis and, at high concentrations, death of the harmful bacteria.
How long does Fucibet take to work?
Fucibet cream is a fast-acting treatment that typically starts showing improvement within a couple of days. Many users report seeing significant relief from symptoms and flare-ups within this timeframe.
It should not be used for longer than two weeks without consulting your doctor, as prolonged use can increase the risk of bacterial resistance.
How to use Fucibet
- Wash your hands thoroughly
- Check the seal and open the tube using the cap spike
- Gently rub a thin layer of cream onto the affected area.
- Wait 30 minutes before applying other creams or moisturisers to give it enough time to absorb
- Wash your hands again unless you're treating your hands
- Do not use Fucibet for more than two weeks without consulting your doctor
- Discard the tube and its contents after 3 months at any pharmacy for responsible disposal
Remember, Fucibet is a prescription medication for external use only. Never share it with others. Fucibet is generally safe for most adults with no underlying medical conditions. However, it's important to remember:
Don't use Fucibet if:
- You're allergic to its ingredients (check the leaflet)
- You have a fungal skin infection (like athlete's foot)
- You have a viral skin infection (like cold sores or chickenpox)
- You only have a bacterial skin infection, not associated with a skin condition (like boils or spots)
- You have TB or syphilis
- You have a red, spotty rash around your mouth or chin (perioral dermatitis)
- You have redness and inflammation over your nose and cheeks (rosacea)
Fucibet Cream Alternatives
If your eczema or skin infection is mild:
- Fucidin H: Similar to Fucibet, it contains fusidic acid (fights bacterial infections present on the skin) and a milder steroid (hydrocortisone, which reduces redness and itching).
- Fucidin cream: Just has fusidic acid (fights germs) without steroids.
For more severe infections:
- Oral antibiotics: These are stronger medicines taken by mouth.
- Steroid creams: These come in different strengths (Betnovate, Eumovate, Dermovate). Use a thin layer as directed by your doctor.
Summary
Fucibet cream is a prescription medication effectively used to treat eczema and other skin conditions. While many people experience positive results with minimal side effects.
If you're struggling with eczema or another skin condition, it's crucial to consult your doctor first. They can diagnose your condition accurately and determine if Fucibet is the right treatment for you.

Resources
Directions
A small quantity (e.g. one fingertip unit) should be applied to the affected area twice daily until symptoms ease. A single treatment course should not normally exceed 2 weeks.
Dosage
Fucibet Cream dosage
- Apply a thin layer: Gently apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area.
- Frequency: It is usually applied 2 to 3 times a day.
Key Differences Between Creams and Ointments
The dosing can be identical, but the key differences come from their consistency and how they absorb.
Ointments
Greasier, thicker, and form a protective barrier. Best for very dry, cracked or scaly skin because they lock in moisture.
Creams
Lighter, less greasy and absorb faster. Easier to use on larger areas or weeping skin.

FAQ
Can Fucibet be used on the face?
Fucibet is a strong medicine, but the skin on your face is extra sensitive. Using it there can be risky.
- Never use Fucibet on your face without talking to your doctor first
- For facial eczema associated with infections, you are more vulnerable to the side effects of topical therapy, such as steroids. Therefore, the mildest form of steroid will usually be considered once daily.
Who can use Fucibet?
Fucibet is generally safe for most adults with no underlying medical conditions. However, it's important to remember:
Consulting a doctor is crucial before using Fucibet, especially if you are under 18, pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any medical conditions.
Can I use Fucibet with other medications?
Always consult your doctor before using Fucibet, especially if you are taking other medications. Fucibet is generally well-tolerated, but it's important to avoid using it with other creams containing fusidic acid, other topical steroids like betamethasone, hydrocortisone, or clobetasone, cholestyramine, or during BCG vaccination.
Although Fucibet is generally well-tolerated, it's vital to tell your doctor about all medications you're taking before using it. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
If you experience any side effects while using Fucibet with another medication, seek immediate medical attention.
For which skin conditions is Fucibet not recommended?
Fucibet is not suitable for:
- Fungal infections
- Viral infections
- Rosacea
- Perioral dermatitis
- Tuberculosis
- Syphilis
Can Fucibet be used for fungal infections?
No, Fucibet is not suitable for fungal infections. It is specifically formulated to treat bacterial infections of the skin.
Using Fucibet for fungal infections could be ineffective and even harmful:
- It won't kill the fungus, allowing the infection to worsen.
- The corticosteroid in Fucibet might even promote the growth of certain fungi.
Side Effects
Most people don't experience any side effects from Fucibet cream. But everyone reacts differently to medication, so here are some mild effects that can happen for some users:
- Dry skin
- Redness
- Irritation
- Rash
- Itchiness
- Swelling
- More hair growth (hypertrichosis)
- Bumpy skin
Although uncommon, it's important to be aware of these possibilities. If you experience anything that bothers you, stop using Fucibet and talk to your doctor.
