Melas Cream Uses

Melas cream has an active ingredient in the form of an antibiotic called fusidic acid, which inhibits bacterial growth and prevents infection by stopping the production of proteins that enable bacteria to flourish. Thus, it helps facilitate an effective immune response against any remaining pathogens for ultimate eradication. The cream is indicated for the treatment of primary and secondary skin infections caused by sensitive strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species, and Corynebacterium minutissimum.
