Precautions

This ointment contains fusidic acid sodium as its active ingredient and is used for the treatment of specific bacterial infections. This medication should not be used by individuals who have had allergic reactions to fusidic acid or its salts. Additionally, it is advisable not to use this medication for infections caused by certain resistant bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. When using this drug, it is important to conduct sensitivity testing to prevent the development of resistant bacteria and to use it for the minimum necessary duration. If allergic symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling, or blisters appear during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician. This medication is well absorbed through the skin, so long-term or widespread application should be avoided. If resistant bacteria occur during local use, it may cause issues when taking the same active ingredient orally later, but most patients will regain effectiveness over time. Repeated or prolonged use may increase resistant bacteria, so treatment should be stopped if symptoms of bacterial change occur and appropriate therapy should be implemented. It is safest not to use this medication in the eye or on the eyelids, nor for ophthalmic purposes. Pregnant women or those who may become pregnant should consult a physician before using this drug. While the risk to the fetus is low with local application, systemic administration could cross the placenta. Breastfeeding women should also consult a physician as the drug may be transmitted to the newborn. Premature infants or newborns should be cautious as their liver function may not be fully developed, and long-term or extensive application of this drug could affect liver function. If any hypersensitivity reactions such as stinging, rash, pain, or irritation occur during use, discontinue use immediately and consult a specialist. Especially in patients with severe leg ulcers, pain may worsen, so caution is advised. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and is important to store in its original container sealed to maintain quality and ensure safe use.

Side effects

Transient burning sensation, occasional rash, mild pain, and irritation may occur as hypersensitive reactions. Signs of sensitization, such as itching, redness (hyperemia), swelling, papules, and vesicles (blisters), may occur. In severe cases of leg ulcers, pain may be triggered upon application.
