Think of Fucibet as an Alternative to Fucidin H for Infected Eczema

January 2019

Fucibet (FYOO-sih-bet) will be a new Rx cream for eczema for adults and kids 6 years and older.

Think of Fucibet as an alternative to Fucidin H. Both contain the antibiotic fusidic acid 2%...but Fucibet has betamethasone valerate 0.1%, while Fucidin H has hydrocortisone 1%.

You'll hear Fucibet contains a high lipid vehicle to help relieve dry skin...but there's no proof this improves efficacy.
