Each gram contains: Fusidic Acid 20 mg, Cream base q.s.
Pharmacology: Fusidic acid is a steroidal antibiotic with a bacteriostatic activity, mainly against gram positive bacteria.
Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis although, in contrast to drugs such as the macrolides or tetracyclines, it does not bind to the bacterial ribosome, but inhibits a factor necessary for translocation of peptide subunits and elongation of the peptide chain. It is capable of inhibiting protein synthesis in mammalian cells but exerts a selective action against susceptible infecting organisms because of poor penetration into the host cells.
Fusidic Acid is indicated, either alone or in combination with systemic therapy, in the treatment of skin infections caused by Staphylococci.
Fusidic Acid is applied to the affected area 2-3 times daily, generally for a period of 7 days.
Or as prescribed by the physician.
Fusidic Acid is remarkably well tolerated and there is an extremely low frequency of hypersensitivity reactions.
