Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It works by preventing synthesis of essential proteins
required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from
growing, and prevents the infection from spreading.
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic used in the treatment of inflammation of the skin, hair
follicles; infections of the skin surrounding the fingernails or toenails; infections of
the bearded skin; and infections of the folds of the skin with brown scaly skin
patches which are mostly caused by Staphylococcus species. It is also used to treat
impetigo which is characterized by crusty and swollen patches of skin.
