How to apply Fusidic acid cream
Fusidic acid cream should be applied to the skin. Do not swallow it.

Duration of treatment
The duration of the treatment will be decided by your doctor. Treatment is usually 1 to 2 weeks, although it may be longer. This depends on the type of infection and the result of the treatment. Take special care if you use the cream for a long time or in large amounts, because then there is a higher chance of getting side effects. Therefore, always follow the advice of your doctor.
If you use more Fusidic acid cream than you should
If you apply too much or accidentally swallow Fusidic acid cream, it is unlikely to cause any harm. However, if you notice any effect or are worried, contact your doctor or pharmacist. You should contact the doctor if Fusidic acid cream is accidentally swallowed by an infant.
If you forget to use Fusidic acid cream

If you stop using Fusidic acid cream
Always use Fusidic acid cream for duration directed by your doctor. Speak to your doctor if unsure. If you stop using Fusidic acid cream prematurely, it is possible that the skin infection returns or does not cure.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
