Fusidic acid is a topical antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, folliculitis, boils, and other infections caused by susceptible bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. It is available as a cream or ointment and is applied directly to the affected areas.
Fusidic acid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which stops bacterial growth. It is effective against gram-positive bacteria and is often used in cases where other antibiotics are not tolerated or effective.
It is well-tolerated by most patients but may cause local side effects such as redness, itching, or irritation at the application site. It is important to use it as directed by a doctor and to complete the treatment to prevent bacterial resistance.
