Fucipan Cream
- Sodium fusidate is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic
derived from Fusidium coccineum, exerts a
powerful antibacterial activity against a number
of Gram-positive organisms.
- Fusidic acid is a steroidal antibacterial with a
bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity, mainly
against Gram-positive bacteria.
- Staphylococci, including the strains resistant to
penicillin or to other antibiotics, are particularly
susceptible to Fucipan®.
- The therapeutic efficacy of topically applied
Fucipan® is due partly to the pronounced
antibacterial activity against the organisms
responsible for skin infections, and partly to the
unique ability of this antibiotic to penetrate intact
skin.
