Overview

Axcel Fusidic Acid 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

Apply a thin layer of Axcel Fusidic Acid Cream to the affected area, usually two to three times a day or as directed on the packaging, gently rubbing it in until absorbed. Wash hands before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated, and cover the area with a light dressing if advised to help prevent the spread of infection.

Dosage

For adults and children, apply Axcel Fusidic Acid Cream to the infected area two to three times daily for a typical course of five to seven days, or as directed on the packaging or by a pharmacist. If there is no improvement within a few days, or if the infection appears to be spreading or worsening, medical advice should be sought promptly.

Shelf Life

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

Relevant Information

Axcel Fusidic Acid Cream is a single-agent topical antibiotic intended for short-term treatment of confirmed or clearly suspected minor bacterial skin infections. It does not contain a corticosteroid, so it will not reduce inflammation from non-infected skin conditions such as eczema; a pharmacist can help confirm whether a skin problem is likely to be infective and suitable for this treatment.
