WHAT IS FOBAN USED FOR? 

Foban Cream and Ointment contain an antibiotic (called fusidic acid
or sodium 
fusidate). This is an antibiotic used to treat skin infections. 

Examples of such infections are: 
•  Impetigo - contagious skin infections with blisters or red
spots 
•  infected cuts and abrasions 
• infected 
eczema 
•  infected contact dermatitis 

Foban is effective only against those bacteria which fusidic acid
or sodium fusidate 
can kill. Do not use Foban for other skin conditions, unless your
doctor has told you 
to. 

This medicine is available only with a doctor's prescription.

•  The expiry date (EXP) printed on the pack has passed. If you

it specifically 
for you and your condition.
