Fucidin H Cream contains two active ingredients, hydrocortisone acetate and fusidic acid.

Hydrocortisone acetate is a type of medicine known as a corticosteroid (or steroid). Corticosteroids are hormones that are produced naturally by the adrenal glands, and have many important functions, including control of inflammatory responses.

Hydrocortisone is the same as the natural corticosteroid, cortisol, and is used to decrease inflammation in the skin. When applied to the skin it is absorbed into the skin cells. Here it works by preventing the release of certain chemicals from the cells. These chemicals are important in the immune system, and are released as a result of allergy or irritation. Fucidin H Cream causes blood vessels to widen, resulting in the affected area of skin becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful, as is seen in dermatitis or eczema. By decreasing the release of these chemicals in the skin, hydrocortisone reduces inflammation and relieves itch.

There is a range of potencies of corticosteroids applied to the skin. Hydrocortisone is classed as a mild corticosteroid. Fucidin H Cream is used to treat a wide variety of inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema and dermatitis.

Fusidic acid is an antibiotic medicine. It works by entering bacterial cells and interfering with the production of proteins that the bacteria need to divide and multiply. It doesn’t directly kill the bacteria, but leaves them unable to increase in numbers. The existing bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. Fusidic acid is included in this preparation to treat the bacteria that sometimes infect inflammatory skin diseases.

The combination of hydrocortisone and fusidic acid is Fucidin H Cream used to treat inflammatory skin disorders, such as eczema and dermatitis, that have become infected. The hydrocortisone reduces the inflammation while the fusidic acid treats the infection.

Eczema is an itchy inflammation of the skin associated to a varying degree with other features such as:

redness of affected areas of skin

generally dry skin, which is often thickened in the areas that have been scratched

lumps or blisters in affected areas

signs of superficial infection such as weeping or crusty deposits.

If corticosteroids are used long-term, on large areas of skin, raw skin, skin folds, or under airtight dressings (including nappies) they are absorbed into the body more. This increases the risk of local side effects such as skin thinning, and those on other parts of the body, such as a decrease in the production of natural hormones by the adrenal glands. For this reason, continuous, long-term use of this medicine should be avoided wherever possible, particularly in children and on large areas of skin. You should only use airtight dressings over the affected area if instructed by your doctor.

Fucidin H Cream is for external use only.


Fucidin H Cream should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area(s).

Avoid contact of Fucidin H Cream with the eyes and the moist membranes lining the inside of certain parts of the body, eg. mouth, nasal passages (mucous membranes). Rinse with cold water if accidental contact occurs.

Extended or recurrent application of Fucidin H Cream may increase the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and the development of resistance to the antibiotic.

If your doctor has advised you to use dressings with this medicine, the skin should be cleansed before a fresh dressing is applied.

Wash your hands thoroughly after applying Fucidin H Cream, unless the hands are the area being treated.

Consult your doctor if any infection spreads, or if after seven days of treatment with Fucidin H Cream there is little or no improvement in your symptoms, as you may need to stop using Fucidin H Cream or take a course of antibiotics by mouth.
