Description
Introduction
HOE Fobancort Ointment is a prescription topical ointment belonging to the corticosteroid and antibiotic drug classes, combining two active ingredients: betamethasone valerate and fusidic acid. While it works at the skin level, some people may experience side effects like skin irritation, dryness, redness, or itching where it’s applied. Before using it, you’ll want to know that it should only be used for a limited period as advised by your doctor, and it’s not suitable for everyone.
