Fucidic Cream (Fusidic acid cream 2%)-Topical Antibiotic?

Question

I previous had a bacterial infection, my doctor prescribed me a large tube of Fucidic Cream (Fusidin acid cream 2%). I have only used a very small portion of it then my wound healed. Now I am left with this large tube of antibiotic. I really do not want to waste it. Can I use it for small cuts or anything else (like hand cream)? Or should I just throw it out?

Answer 1

it is not as good as a triple antibiotic and staph aureous (bug that is common on our skin) can develop resistance to it so it is not really best choice to use alone.
