How much medicine you take and how often you take it depends on many factors, including the condition being treated and the age and weight of the patient. If you have any questions about the amount and/or frequency of Fucidin (fusidic acid) you are taking, talk with your health care provider. Treatment of severe or refractory skin lesions should be supplemented with the administration of a systemic antibacterial agent. Use of topical antibiotics occasionally allows overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. If this occurs, or irritation or sensitization develop, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Fusidic acid topical preparations should not be used in or near the eye because of the possibility of conjunctival irritation. Safety in the treatment of infections during pregnancy has not been established. If administration to pregnant patients is considered necessary, its potential benefits should be weighed against the possible hazards to the fetus. There is evidence to suggest that the drug can penetrate the placental barrier and is detectable in the milk of nursing mothers. Safety of fusidic acid for the treatment of infections in women who are breast-feeding has not been established. Do not take any other over-the-counter or prescription medications without talking with your health care provider. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible. If several hours have passed or if it is nearing time for the next dose, do not double the dose to catch up, unless advised by your health care provider. If more than one dose is missed, contact your health care provider or pharmacist.
