Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Fucibet.
Inform all health professionals involved in your care that you have been using corticosteroids.
Absorption: Applying Fucibet over large areas of damaged skin, in skin folds, or under dressings that do not breathe could promote the absorption of betamethasone into the bloodstream. This could produce unwanted effects similar to those seen after taking oral (by mouth) corticosteroid medications for long periods of time. If you notice symptoms of using steroid medications for long periods of time, such as weakness, increased urination, increased thirst, fatigue, or weight loss, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Bacteria Overgrowth: Applying antibiotic creams to the skin incorrectly or too frequently can cause overgrowth of organisms that are not killed by the antibiotic. If the infection does not improve within a few days or it seems to get worse at any time, contact your doctor.
Eyes: Do not use Fucibet in or around the eyes.
Thinning of skin: Prolonged use of topical (applied to the skin) corticosteroid products may produce thinning of the skin and tissues under it. If you notice this, contact your doctor.
Vision Changes: Corticosteroids that are applied to the skin or inhaled are known to cause or worsen cataracts and glaucoma. Rarely, corticosteroids that are applied to the skin have also been associated with vision changes. If you experience blurred vision or other changes to your eyesight, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Pregnancy: Fucibet should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Fucibet, contact your doctor immediately. Topical medications that contain corticosteroids should not be used by pregnant woman in large amounts or for prolonged periods of time.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if Fucibet passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are using Fucibet, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using Fucibet have not been established for children under the age of 6 years. The use of topical corticosteroids such as betamethasone by children should be limited to the least amount that will give good results. Chronic corticosteroid therapy may interfere with growth and physical development of children.
