The combination of fusidic acid and hydrocortisone is used to treat inflammatory skin infections caused by sensitive bacteria. Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that fights bacterial infections, while hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching.

This combination is commonly used for conditions such as infected dermatitis or eczema complicated by bacterial infections. It is available as a cream or ointment and is applied directly to the affected skin.

Side effects are rare but may include local irritation, burning sensation, or allergic reactions. Long-term use or application on large skin areas may lead to systemic side effects, such as skin thinning or adrenal suppression.

It is important for patients to follow their doctor's instructions and not use this medication for longer than recommended. It is not indicated for fungal or viral infections.
