Fusidic Acid

Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic medication primarily used to treat bacterial infections. It is a topical cream or ointment that is applied directly to the skin, targeting infections such as impetigo, cellulitis, and folliculitis. Fusidic Acid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the growth and spread of bacteria.
The medication is particularly effective against Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, which is a common cause of skin infections. By applying Fusidic Acid to the affected area, the medication helps to reduce inflammation, redness, and pus formation, promoting faster healing of the infection.
Follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to ensure the effectiveness of Fusidic Acid and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. The medication should be applied to clean, dry skin, and the affected area should be covered with a sterile dressing if necessary.
