Each gram  contains :
Fusidic acid BP 20 mg
Hydrocortisone acetate BP 10 mg

Indications and Uses:
Fortison is indicated in eczema and dermatitis with secondary infections including atopic dermatitis, allergic and seborrhoeic dermatitis and primary irritant dermatitis.

Dosage And Administration:
Uncovered lesions : 3-4 times daily applications
Covered lesions : Less frequent application may be adequate

Side Effects:
Hypersensitivity has rarely been encountered. As with other topical steroids, prolonged and intensive treatment may cause local atrophic changes of the skin, such as striae, thinning and dilatation of the superficial blood vessels, particularly when occlusive dressing is used or when skin folds are involved. Systemic absorption, sufficient to produce adrenal suppression, can occur with prolonged or extensive use, specially when napkin is used. Infants and children are particularly at risk. Caution should be exercised if a topical steroid is used near the eye. Glaucoma might be the result if the preparation enters the eye.
