Description

How Does Fucibet Cream Work?

Fucibet cream contains two active ingredients: fusidic acid and betamethasone. The drug uses a dual-mode effect to treat skin conditions.  Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that fights infection. It inhibits the growth of the protein that makes bacteria multiply. In the absence of the protein, bacteria seizes to spread. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid. It is applied topically; it penetrates inside the skin cells, reducing the release of inflammatory-causing substances. This decreases the associated redness, crusty skin, swelling, and sore skin, relieving the discomfort.
