About Topidic B Cream

Topidic B Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.

Topidic B Cream is composed of Betamethasone and Fusidic acid. Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Fusidic acid prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Topidic B Cream has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention. However, if you face any other symptoms or the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Topidic B Cream or other medications. Do not use Topidic B Cream on thin skin, skin ulcers, broken veins or acne without a doctor's advice. Topidic B Cream is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Topidic B Cream.

Directions for Use

  • Topidic B Cream is for external use only.
  • It is usually applied twice daily or as directed by your doctor.
  • Take a small amount of Topidic B Cream on the fingertip and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area.
  • If Topidic B Cream accidentally comes in contact with your eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse with water thoroughly.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Topidic B Cream consists of two medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic).
  • Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandins' production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.
  • It is used to treat inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches).
  • Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
  • It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).

How Topidic B Cream Works

Topidic B Cream is composed of two medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties. Betamethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patches of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).

Storage

• Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight. • Keep out of sight and reach of children. • Non cold chain - To be stored in cool places at 10ºC to 25ºC or below 30ºC.

What if I have taken an overdose of Topidic B Cream

Do not apply Topidic B Cream in large amounts or use it for a long time than recommended, as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects.

Drug Warnings
