Description
Fucicort Cream is a combination medicine that is used to treat various types of skin infections. It minimizes symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. It also has antimicrobial action against infection-causing microorganisms. Betamethasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic which stops the bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it works by killing and stopping the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thereby clearing the infection, relieving the symptoms and also blocks the release of chemicals that cause symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. Therefore this medicine relieves the inflammation due to these infections. Fucicort helps treat inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis that are also infected by bacteria.
