Medicine containing Fusidic Acid
Key points
- Fusidic Acid works by stopping bacteria from producing the proteins they need to multiply, which is why it sits among Antibiotics.
- Bacteria causing impetigo can develop resistance to antibiotics, so antiseptic creams are a better option when the affected area is small enough to treat with them.
- Fucidin Cream is available in 2% 15gm and 2% 5gm tubes, marketed by LEO Pharma.
When this cream is chosen over an antiseptic
When the affected area is small and you are otherwise well, an antiseptic cream such as hydrogen peroxide 1% can be applied to the patches. Fusidic Acid cream is used instead when Skin Infections cover large areas and antiseptics alone are not enough.
