Fudic-H (20/10mg) 15g Cream

Fudic-H Cream is a combination topical medication that contains Fusidic Acid (20 mg), an antibiotic, and Hydrocortisone (10 mg), a mild corticosteroid. It is used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria, particularly when the infection is accompanied by inflammation, redness, and itching. The antibiotic helps eliminate the bacteria, while hydrocortisone reduces swelling, irritation, and discomfort, promoting faster skin healing.
