Before you start using this medicine, it's crucial to consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency. Let your doctor know about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications you're on. If you notice any side effects while using this cream, inform your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue applying the cream for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Ensure the affected area on your skin is clean and dry before application.
Gently rub in a thin layer of the cream on the affected parts using clean fingers.
Apply as advised by your doctor.
Wash your hands before and after applying the cream to avoid spreading infection.

Fusikem C Cream 15gm is applied topically.

Fusikem C Cream 15gm might cause the following side effects:

Burning at the site of application
Skin rash
Dry
Peeling skin
Thinning of skin
Folliculitis: This refers to inflammation of hair follicles, which can make your skin appear red and bumpy.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Fusikem C Cream 15gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning at the application site: Consider applying this cream at night if it causes you discomfort during the day.
Dry skin: If you notice dryness, try applying the cream after a shower when your skin is clean and hydrated.

Fusikem C Cream 15gm combines two active ingredients:

Clobetasol Propionate (0.05 %): This is a super-high potency topical corticosteroid that works by suppressing certain immune system processes in your body. These processes often trigger symptoms of skin inflammation such as redness, itching, swelling, and rash. By inhibiting these processes, clobetasol propionate effectively manages these symptoms.
Fusidic Acid (2 %): Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by interfering with their protein synthesis process. The antibiotic binds itself to a specific elongation factor known as EF-G, which plays a crucial role in bacterial protein synthesis and ribosome translocation. This prevents the bacteria from growing and replicating further, thereby helping your immune system to kill and clear the infection.

Pregnancy

Fusikem C Cream 15gm should be used with caution during pregnancy. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised when using Fusikem C Cream 15gm while breastfeeding. Discuss with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Fusikem C Cream 15gm interaction with liver diseases is rare as it is applied externally. But, if you have any liver-related concerns, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

The interaction of Fusikem C Cream 15gm with kidney conditions is unlikely due to its topical application. If you have any kidney health issues, consulting your doctor before starting this cream could be beneficial.
