Fudic 2% Cream 15g contains fusidic acid 2%, a topical antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

Fusidic acid works by interfering with bacterial protein production, helping stop the growth of susceptible bacteria and allowing the infection to clear. It may be prescribed for conditions such as infected cuts, wounds, boils, and other localized bacterial skin infections.
