Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment 15g

Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment is a topical combination product containing two active ingredients: fusidic acid and hydrocortisone. It's applied directly to the skin in a thin layer, and many people appreciate that it's a once-daily or twice-daily routine rather than an oral medicine to remember. Some users notice mild burning, stinging, itching, or redness at the application site, particularly when first starting treatment. Because it combines an antibacterial with a mild corticosteroid, it's generally intended for short courses rather than continuous long-term use. Keeping treatment to the duration your doctor sets helps you get the most out of it while minimising skin-related side effects.

The typical application is a thin layer applied to the affected area once or twice daily for a limited course, often not exceeding one to two weeks unless your doctor advises otherwise. The exact frequency and duration should be confirmed by your doctor based on your skin condition.

• Burning or stinging at the application site
• Itching
• Redness or irritation
• Dryness of the skin
• Thinning of the skin with prolonged use (skin atrophy)
• Allergic contact dermatitis (uncommon)
• Folliculitis (uncommon)
• Changes in skin pigmentation (rare)
• Delayed wound healing with prolonged use (rare)

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly closed after use and out of reach of children.

• Apply only a thin layer; more isn't more effective
• Wash your hands before and after application
• Avoid using on broken skin, wounds, or near the eyes
• Don't use for longer than your doctor recommends
• Store away from direct sunlight and heat
• Keep the tube tightly closed between uses
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Check the expiry date before each use

Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment is for external use only and should be applied as a thin layer to the affected area, usually once or twice daily as directed by your doctor. Hands should be washed before and after application, and the ointment should not be used on broken skin, wounds, or near the eyes unless specifically instructed.

Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from manufacture when stored properly and unopened. Once opened, it's best used within the timeframe noted on the packaging or advised by your pharmacist.

The active ingredients are fusidic acid 2% and hydrocortisone 1%.

Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment should not be used on viral skin infections (such as herpes or chickenpox lesions), fungal skin infections without appropriate concurrent treatment, tuberculous or syphilitic skin lesions, or on broken or ulcerated skin. It's also not suitable for anyone with known hypersensitivity to fusidic acid, hydrocortisone, or any ointment component.

As a topical product, Hoe Foban Hydro Ointment has minimal systemic drug interactions, though applying other topical products to the same area at the same time may affect absorption or cause irritation, so it's best to space out different topical treatments as advised by your pharmacist. Prolonged use over large areas of skin, or use under occlusive dressings, may increase systemic absorption of the corticosteroid component, so this should only be done under medical guidance.
