Fusigen Ointment

Sodium fusidate ointment is commonly used to treat various skin infections, including impetigo (a contagious skin infection), infected wounds, and dermatitis. It is usually applied directly to the affected area of the skin, following the instructions provided by a healthcare professional.

Common side effects may include skin irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, it is important to seek medical attention. It is also possible to develop an allergic reaction to the medication, so if you experience symptoms such as rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, you should discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.

Sodium fusidate ointment is typically applied topically to the affected area of the skin. The specific instructions may vary depending on the condition being treated and the recommendation of your healthcare professional. Generally, the ointment should be applied thinly and evenly to the affected area, ensuring that the entire area is covered. It is important to wash your hands before and after application to prevent the spread of infection.

Sodium fusidate works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus and other susceptible strains. It interferes with the bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the bacteria from multiplying and spreading.
