摘要

The present invention relates to primary and secondary bacterial skin infections and in particular it relates to the treatment of these infections using a Fusidic acid cream that has been made using Sodium fusidate as the starting Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API). The invention discloses a dermaceutical cream containing Fusidic acid which is formed in situ from Sodium Fusidate as the starting raw material, wherein Sodium Fusidate is converted into Fusidic acid under oxygen-free environment. The cream of the present invention has greater shelf-life stability and the finer particle size of the API than the conventional creams containing Fusidic acid.
