Fudic BNF Cream 10gm
Medicinal Benefits
Fudic BNF Cream 10 gm is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. It consists of two medicines: Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Beclomethasone dipropionate blocks prostaglandins production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It is used to treat inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
