Full Prescribing Info

Pregnancy: Fusidic acid: No effects during pregnancy are anticipated, since systemic exposure to fusidic acid is negligible and studies in animals have not shown teratogenic effects.
Betamethasone valerate: There are no or limited amount of data from the use of topical betamethasone valerate in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions).
Fucicort should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.

Fucicort can be used during breastfeeding but it is recommended to avoid applying Fucicort on the breast.
Fertility: There are no clinical studies with Fucicort regarding fertility.
