Fucort-B (2/0.1%) 15g Cream

Fusidic Acid is a bactericidal antibiotic that works by inhibiting the enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase (FabI) enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of fatty acids in bacterial cells. By inhibiting its action, fusidic acid prevents the formation of important cellular lipids and essential precursors, leading to the death of the bacterial cell. It is often utilized to treat infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, involving skin and soft tissue infections and abscesses. Betamethasone Valerate functions as a topical corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant abilities. When applied topically, it penetrates the skin and binds to glucocorticoid receptors, mitigating the release of inflammatory mediators and suppressing the immune response. This action helps to reduce inflammation, swelling, and itching linked with skin conditions. Betamethasone Valerate is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
