Fusidic acid Fusidate sodium

Fucidin Cream Fucidin Ointment Fucidin has low antibiotic
®
resistance potential

Low risk of bacterial resistance 1
• Bacterial resistance prevalence for Fusidic Acid is around

2.8% in Europe 2
• The use of antibiotics with the narrowest spectrum is
recommended to prevent the emergence of antimicrobial

resistance 3
• Several studies have shown that resistance does not develop

when Fusidic Acid is used for up to 2 weeks at a time. 1

Low risk of cross-resistance:

• No cross-resistance with other antibiotics 1

®
• Fucidin limits the development of resistance, cross-
resistance and cross-allergic reactions with other
medications 3
