Fucidin has low antibiotic Betamethasone valerate

resistance potential Fucicort Cream

Low risk of bacterial resistance 1

• Bacterial resistance prevalence for Fusidic Acid is
around 2.8% in Europe 2

• The use of antibiotics with the narrowest spectrum is
recommended to prevent the emergence of
antimicrobial resistance 3

• Several studies have shown that resistance does not
develop when Fusidic Acid is used for up to 2 weeks at

a time. 1

Low risk of cross-resistance:

• No cross-resistance with other antibiotics 1
®
• Fucidin limits the development of resistance, cross-
resistance and cross-allergic reactions with other
medications 3
