Orphan date December 2010 Fucibet is a proprietary cream with active ingredients of fusidic acid an antibiotic and betamethasone valerate a corticosteroid used for medical treatment of skin inflammation and or infection ref Fucibet package leaflet ref . Fucibet cream and Fucibet lipid cream both contain two active ingredients, fusidic acid and betamethasone valerate. 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 does not 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 bacterial infection that can sometimes occur in eczema . Betamethasone is a type of medicine called a corticosteroid. Corticosteroids are medicines used for reducing inflammation. Skin inflammation in eczema occurs due to the irritation of the skin, and is caused by the release of various substances involved in the immune system. These substances cause blood vessels to widen, resulting in the affected area becoming red, swollen, itchy and painful. When betamethasone is applied to the skin it works by acting inside the cells to decrease the release of these inflammatory substances. This reduces swelling, redness and itch. Betamethasone is a potent corticosteroid. The combination of betamethasone and fusidic acid is used to treat eczema that is infected with bacteria. The betamethasone reduces the inflammation in the skin while the fusidic acid treats the infection.
