Dermy Cream 2% 15gm

Dermy 2.00% Cream (15 gm) is a topical medication containing fusidic acid, an antibiotic known for its effectiveness in inhibiting bacterial growth. Fusidic acid interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the bacteria from multiplying and spreading.

This cream is primarily used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as impetigo (a contagious bacterial skin infection), infected eczema, and other superficial skin infections.

• Before applying the cream, ensure the affected area is clean and dry. You can wash the area before applying and pat it dry.

• Take a small amount of the cream and gently apply it to the affected area. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area. Gently rub it in until it's absorbed into the skin. Do not apply excessive pressure, as the skin in the affected area might already be sensitive.

• The specific dosage and frequency of application will depend on the severity of the infection and your healthcare provider's instructions. Typically, fusidic acid cream is applied two to three times a day.
• Store Dermy 2.00% Cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. 

Some possible side effects associated with the use of Dermy 2.00% Cream:

• Skin Irritation: Some individuals might experience local skin irritation, redness, itching, or burning in the area where the cream is being applied. This is a common side effect of many topical medications.

• Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to fusidic acid are rare but possible. Signs of some allergic reactions may include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing. 
• Superinfection: In some cases, antibiotics like fusidic acid can lead to secondary infection by other microorganisms that are not sensitive to the antibiotic. This can cause new symptoms or worsen the existing ones.

Dermy 2.00% Cream contains fusidic acid, which is an antibiotic. It is commonly used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo, infected dermatitis, and other skin conditions caused by bacteria. Fusidic acid blocks protein synthesis in bacteria, which ultimately inhibits their growth and reproduction.

Q: How does fusidic acid work? 

Fusidic acid interferes with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to a specific ribosomal subunit in bacteria. This prevents the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for bacterial growth and survival. As a result, the bacteria cannot multiply and spread, leading to their eventual death.
