Overview

Axcel Fusidic Acid-B Cream is supplied as a cream, with Fusidic Acid. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Axcel Fusidic Acid-B Cream should only be used as directed by the prescribing doctor. A thin layer is typically applied to the affected area two to three times a day, or as instructed, and gently rubbed in. Hands should be washed before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and the cream should not be applied more widely or for longer than prescribed.

Dosage

The dosage and duration of Axcel Fusidic Acid-B Cream must be determined by the prescribing doctor, taking into account the location, extent, and severity of the infected skin condition. Treatment courses are usually limited to a short period, commonly around one to two weeks, because prolonged use of the corticosteroid component increases the risk of skin thinning and other steroid-related side effects, and prolonged antibiotic use increases the risk of bacterial resistance.

Shelf Life

Axcel Fusidic Acid-B Cream should be used within the shelf-life period printed on the packaging when stored under the recommended conditions. Do not use the product beyond its expiry date, and dispose of any unused or expired cream responsibly.

Storage Instructions

Store Axcel Fusidic Acid-B Cream below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after use and out of the reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Skin irritation or redness at the application site
  • Dryness or peeling of the skin
  • Burning or stinging sensation
  • Itching
  • Thinning of the skin with prolonged use

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to fusidic acid, betamethasone, or any other ingredient in the cream
  • Untreated viral skin infections (such as cold sores, chickenpox, or shingles) or untreated fungal infections at the application site
  • Rosacea or acne vulgaris on the face
  • Perioral dermatitis
  • Not for use in or near the eyes
  • Not recommended for prolonged, continuous use without medical review

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroid or antibiotic products should be avoided unless directed by a doctor
  • Using occlusive dressings over the treated area without medical advice can increase absorption of both active ingredients and the risk of side effects
  • Inform your doctor of all other topical or systemic medications you are using before starting treatment

Quick Tips

  • Apply only a thin layer to the infected, inflamed area as prescribed
  • Complete the prescribed course even if the skin appears to improve, to reduce the risk of the infection returning or antibiotic resistance developing
  • Do not use for longer than the doctor has advised
  • Avoid covering the treated area with airtight dressings unless instructed
  • Return for a doctor’s follow-up if the skin condition does not improve or worsens
