  • treatment of atopic dermatitis (neurodermatitis, lichen) with infectious complications, sensitive to fusidic acid.

Application in pregnancy and lactation

 

With care appoint Futsidin ointment during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding).

 

The data obtained with the use of the drug during pregnancy show no serious adverse effects on the fetus and the newborn.However, in pregnancy, excessive use (for a long time or at a dose of more than 100 g per week) of Fucidine G cream is not recommended because of the presence of hydrocortisone.

 

Preclinical studies and long-term clinical experience indicate the absence of embryotoxic and teratogenic effects of fusidic acid.

 

In experimental studies with local application of corticosteroids in pregnant animals, developmental disorders of the fetus were observed, but the significance of these data for a person is unclear.

 

With external application of fusidic acid and hydrocortisone acetate, penetration into breast milk is unlikely due to low systemic absorption and no impact on the infant breastfed is expected. Fucidin G can be given during breastfeeding, but when applied externally to the nipple's skin before feeding, the nipple surface should be thoroughly cleaned from any traces of the cream.

 

Use in children

 

Possible use of Fucidine ointment in children according to indications.

It is possible to use for the treatment of acne or acne of a bacterial nature (except for rosacea).

 

It should avoid prolonged external use of glucocorticosteroids (GCS), because this can lead to suppression of adrenal function, even with low systemic absorption. After prolonged local treatment for GCS, atrophic changes on the face and, to a lesser extent, on other parts of the body can occur.

 

Fucidine G cream contains butyl hydroxy anisole and cetyl alcohol, which can cause local skin reactions (such as contact dermatitis). Butylhydroxyanisole can also cause eye and mucous membrane irritation.

 

Fusidic acid, like all antibiotics, with prolonged or repeated use may increase the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

 

The use of fixed combinations of SCS with an antibiotic should not exceed 2 weeks, because SCS can mask symptoms of infection or hypersensitivity reactions. With persistence of bacterial infection, treatment with systemic drugs should be started.
