Uses

Dicfu-B Cream is used in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis. The detailed uses of Dicfu-B Cream are as follows:

  • Treats Infected Eczema and Psoriasis: Dicfu-B Cream is primarily used to treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis that have become infected with bacteria.

Medicinal Benefits

Dicfu-B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Fusidic acid. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Together, Dicfu-B Cream can effectively reduce symptoms of skin infections.
