Fudic B Cream 15g is a topical combination medicine containing fusidic acid and betamethasone, an antibiotic and corticosteroid respectively. It is used for certain bacterial skin infections accompanied by inflammation, redness, and itching.

Fusidic acid helps stop the growth of susceptible bacteria, while betamethasone reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching.
