PHARMACODYNAMIC:
Beta Fusidic Cream combines the well-known anti-inflammatory and
antipruritic effects of betamethasone with the potent topical
antibacterial action of Fusidic Acid.
Betamethasone Valerate is a topical steroid rapidly effective in those
inflammatory dermatoses which normally respond to this form
of therapy.
When applied topically, Fusidic Acid is effective against Staphyloccus
aureus, Streptococci, Corynebacteria, Neisseria and certain
Clostridia and Bacteroides. The antibacterial activity of Fusidic Acid
is not diminished in the presence of betamethasone.
PHARMACOKINETICS:
There are no data which define the pharmacokinetics of Fusidic Acid,
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 site of application. Betamethasone is metabolised
largely in the liver but also to a limited extent in the kidneys, and
the
inactive metabolites are excreted with the urine.
INDICATIONS:
Beta Fusidic Cream is indicated in inflammatory dermatoses where
bacterial infection is present or likely to occur. Inflammatory
dermatoses include atopic eczema, discoid eczema, stasis eczema,
seborrhoeic, dermatitis, contact dermatitis, lichen simplex
chronicus, psoriasis, discoid lupus erythematosus.
