Key points
- Often paired with a corticosteroid in the same cream so that both the infection and its inflammation are addressed together.
- Stops bacterial protein production at the infection site, which prevents the bacteria multiplying and allows skin to heal naturally.
- Using it alongside other topical products can raise the risk of irritation or change how much of the drug is absorbed.
What is Fusidic Acid?
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic used in topical dermatology. It works by targeting bacterial growth directly at the site of application. Because skin infections vary, it is often combined with other agents, such as corticosteroids, to manage both the underlying infection and associated inflammation.
What Fusidic Acid is used for
This medication is primarily indicated for bacterial skin infections. It is a common component in treatments for Infected Dermatitis, Dermatitis, and Eczema when these conditions involve a bacterial component.
How does Fusidic Acid work?
Fusidic acid stops bacteria from producing the proteins they need to survive and multiply. By preventing this process, it curbs the infection and allows the natural healing of affected skin areas.
Fusidic Acid brands and forms
Available forms typically include creams designed for direct application to the skin. Combinations, such as those pairing fusidic acid with a steroid, are common within our Skin Care catalogue. These formulations serve patients who require both antibacterial action and relief from associated irritation.
Safety overview for Fusidic Acid

Possible reactions and tolerability
Topical use may occasionally cause local skin irritation, redness, or dryness at the site of application. Use only for the duration and frequency advised to avoid unintended skin changes.
Interactions and health factors

Combining multiple topical agents can increase the risk of irritation or alter how the active ingredient absorbs into the skin.
