“Flusid” generally refers to medications containing the antibiotic fusidic acid, used to treat bacterial skin infections. Some common formulations, like “Flusid-B Cream,” also include the corticosteroid beclometasone to reduce inflammation, redness, and itching.
Uses
Flusid cream is a topical treatment effective against bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, which commonly cause skin infections. It is primarily used to manage conditions including:
-
- Impetigo (a highly contagious skin infection that causes sores and blisters)
- Infected dermatitis (inflamed skin with spots)
- Eczema with signs of secondary bacterial infection
- Folliculitis (infected hair follicles)
- Infected cuts, grazes, and minor wounds
How It Works
- Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is essential for the bacteria to grow and replicate. This stops the infection from spreading and helps eliminate the bacteria.
- Beclometasone (in Flusid-B) is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that cause the affected area to become red, swollen, and itchy, thereby providing relief from inflammation.
How to Use
- Flusid products are for external use only.
- Always wash your hands before and after applying the cream (unless your hands are the area being treated).
- Apply a thin layer gently to the affected area, usually two to four times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Do not use the cream for a longer duration than recommended to avoid complications like antibiotic resistance.
- Avoid contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
Common Side Effects
Common side effects are usually localized to the application site and may include:
- Itching or a burning sensation
- Redness and irritation
- Skin dryness
- Stretch marks or skin thinning (especially with Flusid-B due to the steroid component)
You should consult a doctor if side effects persist or worsen, or if you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction.
