DESCRIPTION
White, opaque cream
COMPOSITION
Fusidic Acid (Micronised)
2.0% w/w
Betamethasone valerate equivalent to Betamethasone
0.1% w/w
ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic with a bacteriostatic or bactericidal
activity, mainly against Gram positive bacteria. Fusidic acid inhibits
bacterial protein synthesis although, in contrast to drugs such as the
macrolides or tetracyclines, it does not bind to the bacterial
ribosomes, but inhibits a factor necessary for translocation of
peptide subunits and elongation of the peptide chain. Betamethasone
valerate is a topical steroid with rapid effect in inflammatory
dermatoses. Even refractory conditions can often be treated
successfully.
PHARMACOKINETICS
_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.
Betamethasone can be absorbed when given locally.
INDICATIONS
Disuf-B 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.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
•
Topical corticosteroids are contraindicated in viral, tuberculous and
fungal skin infections, perioral dermatitis, acne rosacea and
ulcerative condition.
•
Patients with hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
WARNING / PRECAUTIONS
•
Long term continuous should be avoided.
•
Caution should be exercised when the product is used near the eye,
since topical steroid may cause glaucoma if the preparation
gets into the eye.
•
Steroid antibiotic combination should not be used for more than 7 days
in the absence of any clinical improvement.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
Topical steroids should not be used extensively in pregnancy as fetal
abnormalities have been observed in animals due to systemic
absorption.
