I am on the pill and have been prescribed fucidin cream to treat a skin infection. my doctor told me it was an antibiotic but did not mention my pill and it doesnt say anything about it in the leaflet that came with the cream. is it just oral antibiotics that affect the pill?
Hi, Fucidin (juridic acid) is a topical antibiotic commonly used to treat skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is only the oral antibiotics which may reduce the contraceptive effects of the pills. When applied locally on the affected area of the skin while on contraceptive pills, funding does not affect the pill. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
