Fucicort Cream – 20mg+1mg

Each gram contains Fusidic acid 20 mg, Betamethasone as valerate 1 mg.
Preserved with chlorocresol.
Excipients/Inactive Ingredients: macrogol cetostearyl ether, cetostearyl alcohol, chlorocresol, liquid paraffin, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, white soft paraffin, sodium hydroxide (for pH adjustment), all-rac-a-tocopherol, purified water.

Pharmacokinetics: There are no data that define the pharmacokinetics of Fucicort Cream, following topical administration in man.
However, in vitro studies show that fusidic acid can penetrate intact human skin. The degree of penetration depends on factors such as the duration of exposure to fusidic acid and the condition of the skin. Fusidic acid is excreted mainly in the bile with little excreted in the urine.
Betamethasone is absorbed following topical administration. The degree of absorption is dependent on various factors including skin condition and the site of application. Betamethasone is metabolized largely in the liver but also to a limited extent in the kidneys, and the inactive metabolites are excreted with the urine.
Toxicology: Preclinical safety data: Studies of corticosteroids in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (e.g. cleft palate, skeletal malformations, low birth weight).
