Overview

Fucidin 2% Cream contains Fusidic Acid 2% w/w 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

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area of skin, usually two to three times a day or as directed by your doctor, gently rubbing it in. Wash and dry your hands before and after application unless the hands are the area being treated. Continue treatment for the full course prescribed, even if the skin appears to improve, to reduce the risk of the infection returning or antibiotic resistance developing.

Dosage

Dosage and duration of treatment are determined by your doctor based on the type, location, and severity of the skin infection, and is typically applied two to three times daily for around 7 to 14 days. Do not use for longer than prescribed, and follow up with your doctor if the infection does not improve within the expected timeframe.

Shelf Life

Fucidin 2% Cream is typically valid for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Once opened, use within the period stated on the packaging or as advised by your pharmacist. Always check the expiry date before use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C to 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Keep the tube tightly closed after use, and keep out of reach and sight of children.

Side Effects

  • Skin irritation or redness at the application site
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Rash or inflammation
  • Rarely, allergic reactions (e.g., swelling or difficulty breathing)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to fusidic acid or any other ingredient in the cream
  • Not for use in or near the eyes

  • Prolonged or repeated use without medical supervision is not recommended due to the risk of antibiotic resistance

Drug / Food Interactions

  • No clinically significant drug interactions are typically reported with topical fusidic acid, as systemic absorption through intact skin is minimal
  • Avoid applying other topical products to the same area at the same time unless advised by your doctor
  • Inform your doctor of any other topical or oral antibiotics being used to avoid unnecessary overlap
