- Fucidin is a type of antibiotic. It contains the active ingredient fusidic acid, which works to fight bacteria by helping to break down the protein wall surrounding it and stop it from spreading or even kill it.
- Fucidin comes as both a cream and an ointment. Both contain the same active ingredient, although on the ointment this may be listed as sodium fusidate, which is a salt of fusidic acid. The two preparations are made differently to achieve a different consistency.
- 1 gram of cream or ointment contains 20 mg of Fusidic acid or sodium fusidate. The ointment is greasier than the cream and is used to treat smaller areas of the skin, the cream is usually used over larger areas as it is easier to apply and spread.
- As with most medications, this product should be stored at room temperature. Store it in a secure location where it will not be exposed to excessive heat, moisture or direct sunlight. Make sure that any leftover portion is disposed of safely.
