Halogail Cream
PRODUCT DETAILS
About Halogail Cream
FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes disease. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some eczema types can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and is caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin, or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.

Medicinal Benefits of Halogail Cream
FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. It consists of two medicines: Halobetasol (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Halobetasol is a high-potency topical corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It is used to treat inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin) and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
Directions for Use
Wash your hands before and after applying FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL. Take a small amount of FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL on a fingertip and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area of the skin as advised by your doctor. FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL is only for external use. Avoid contact of FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL with eyes as it may irritate. In case FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL comes in contact with eyes accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL. FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL is not recommended for children below 12 years of age as large amounts of FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL may be absorbed through the skin easily in children and cause adverse effects. Avoid using FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL on open wounds, windburned, sunburned, irritated, or dry skin. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor as it may cause harmful effects. Avoid contact of topical FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL with nose, mouth, or eyes as it may irritate. In case FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames since FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL can catch fire and burn easily. Tell your doctor before using FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL if you have diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), cataract or glaucoma, thyroid and pituitary diseases, heart, kidney, or liver problems before using FUSIDIC ACID+HALOBETASOL.
