Overview
Fucicort Cream contains Fusidic Acid 2% and is presented as a cream. It is supplied in pack sizes of 15g and 5g.
It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.
You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Fucicort Cream should be used strictly as directed by your prescribing doctor. A thin layer is usually applied to the affected area of clean, dry skin two to three times a day, gently rubbing it in, unless a different frequency has been specified. Hands should be washed before and after application, and the cream should not be used on broken skin, open wounds, or near the eyes unless specifically instructed by a doctor.
Dosage
The dose and treatment duration depend on the severity and location of the skin condition and will be determined by your doctor, but Fucicort is generally not intended for prolonged, continuous use, particularly on the face, skin folds, or in children, due to the corticosteroid component. Treatment courses are typically kept short, often around one to two weeks, and should not be continued beyond what your doctor has prescribed without a follow-up review.
Shelf Life
Fucicort Cream remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube or carton when stored correctly and unopened; once opened, it should generally be used within the period stated by the manufacturer or your pharmacist, and the expiry date should always be checked before use.
Storage Instructions
Store Fucicort Cream below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children and dispose of any unused or expired cream responsibly, rather than through household waste.
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 primary skin infections caused by viruses (such as herpes simplex or chickenpox), fungi, or tuberculosis
- Rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or acne vulgaris, where corticosteroids can worsen the condition
- Not for use on the eyes or in the ear canal if the eardrum is perforated
- Caution in infants and young children due to increased skin absorption
Drug / Food Interactions
- Concurrent use with other topical corticosteroids on the same area may increase the risk of skin thinning and systemic absorption
- Inform your doctor if you are using other topical or systemic antibiotics, as combined use may affect treatment choice
- Occlusive dressings or bandages over treated skin can significantly increase absorption and side effect risk unless specifically advised
- No specific food interactions are established with topical use
Quick Tips
- Apply only a thin layer — more cream does not mean faster healing
- Do not use Fucicort on larger areas of skin or for longer than your doctor has prescribed
- Avoid covering treated skin with airtight dressings unless told to do so
- Wash your hands after each application unless the hands are the area being treated
- Return to your doctor if the skin condition worsens or does not improve within the expected timeframe
- Do not share this cream with other people, even if their skin condition looks similar

Why is there no information here about what Fucicort Cream is for?
This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.
How should I use Fucicort Cream?
Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.
Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Fucicort Cream before I buy it?
Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.
How should I store Fucicort Cream?
Store Fucicort Cream below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children and dispose of any unused or expired cream responsibly, rather than through household waste. Keep it in its original pack and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the packaging.
What should I do if I notice side effects after using Fucicort Cream?
Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.
How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Fucicort Cream be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Fucicort Cream registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Relevant Information
Fucicort is intended for short-term treatment of infected inflammatory skin conditions rather than routine or long-term skin care, and its corticosteroid component means it should be tapered off or reviewed by a doctor rather than stopped and restarted repeatedly without medical guidance. Patients with chronic or recurring skin conditions should discuss a longer-term management plan with their doctor rather than relying on repeated short courses of this cream alone.
