Therefore, it is important to inform your doctor if you have any history of allergy or reaction before you start therapy with this medicine. In some cases, the reason for the allergic reaction could be the added ingredients with the drug. In case of any reaction, stop the medication immediately and inform the doctor.
Q. What are the precautions that are needed to be taken while using Mometasone?
Mometasone should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer periods of time than you have been advised.

This medicine should be used only when advised by the doctor. It should not be given to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.
Frequently asked questions about Fusidic Acid
Q. Is Fusidic Acid an antifungal or a steroid? What is it used for?
Fusidic Acid is neither an antifungal nor a steroid. It is an antibiotic that is effective against bacteria. It is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin like impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), infected cuts and grazes, and infected dermatitis (skin becomes red, slightly swollen, and painful due to infection).

Unless you are using the cream to treat your hands, always wash your hands after using Fusidic Acid. Do not insert it into your body or swallow it. If it accidentally enters your eyes, wash your eyes thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, contact your doctor immediately.
Q. What is drug resistance? Does it mean that even Fusidic Acid may turn ineffective?
Sometimes the bacteria get modified in your body and the medicine stops working. This is called drug resistance. Extended or recurrent use of medicine may increase the risk of developing resistance to that medicine. Your body may develop resistance for Fusidic Acid too. Therefore, to prevent drug resistance, you should use Fusidic Acid in the right amount and for the duration recommended by the doctor.
Q. What should prompt me to stop using Fusidic Acid?
If you develop a severe allergic reaction after using Fusidic Acid, wash the area thoroughly and do not use the medicine again.

You should immediately seek the medical support of your doctor or go to a nearby hospital.
