Indications & Clinical Uses

Fusidate De Sodium Pierre Fabre is a topical antibiotic used to treat bacterial skin infections. It is effective against a range of conditions caused by susceptible Gram-positive bacteria.

  • Impetigo: Treats bacterial skin infections characterized by crusty sores.
  • Infected eczema: Reduces bacterial infection in eczema-affected skin.
  • Superficial skin infections: Combats infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci.

How It Works

  • Sodium fusidate works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It interferes with the function of elongation factor G (EF-G), which is essential for bacterial growth. This bacteriostatic effect prevents the bacteria from multiplying, allowing the body's immune system to eliminate the infection.
