Description: Fusia-B is a combination medicine that contains two active ingredients: Fusidic acid and a corticosteroid, typically beclomethasone. It is formulated as a cream for external, topical use.

Indication: This medication is used to treat a variety of skin infections caused by bacteria, particularly when inflammation and itching are also present. Common conditions it is prescribed for include:

• Inflamed bacterial skin infections
• Infected eczema
• Dermatitis accompanied by inflammation and itching

Mechanism of Action: The dual action of Fusia-B is due to its two components:

• Fusidic Acid: This is an antibiotic. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Specifically, it prevents a crucial step in protein production by binding to a part of the bacterial ribosome, which prevents the bacteria from growing and multiplying. This effectively helps to clear the bacterial infection.
• Beclomethasone: This is a potent corticosteroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body, such as prostaglandins, that cause the skin to become red, swollen, and itchy. This provides relief from the inflammation and discomfort associated with the infection.
