Directions for Use

Fucidin 2% Ointment should be applied strictly according to the prescribing doctor’s instructions, typically to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily after gentle cleansing of the site. Hands should be washed before and after application unless the hands are being treated, and the ointment should not be used on larger areas of skin than prescribed or for a longer duration than advised.

Dosage

The doctor will determine the appropriate frequency and duration of treatment based on the extent and severity of the infection, typically ranging from 7 to 14 days. Patients should not extend treatment beyond the prescribed period without consulting their doctor, even if symptoms appear to have resolved.

  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Rash or inflammation
  • Rarely, allergic reactions (e.g., swelling or difficulty breathing)

  • Known hypersensitivity to Fusidic Acid or any component of the ointment
  • Use in the eyes or on mucous membranes
  • Extensive, deep, or surgical wounds without prior medical assessment
  • Signs of a systemic or spreading infection, such as fever, without medical evaluation

Drug / Food Interactions

  • No clinically significant systemic drug interactions are typically expected with correctly applied topical Fusidic Acid
  • Combining with other topical antibacterial agents on the same site should only be done under medical supervision to reduce resistance risk
  • Applying other topical products to the treated area simultaneously may reduce absorption and should be spaced apart where possible

Quick Tips

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry between applications
  • Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or personal items while the infection is active
  • Return to your doctor if the infection spreads, worsens, or fails to improve within the expected timeframe

Relevant Information
