Fucidin Tablets AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT INFORMATION – FUCIDIN ® TABLETS (SODIUM FUSIDATE) 1 NAME OF THE MEDICINE Sodium fusidate 2 QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Fucidin ® Tablets contain sodium fusidate 250mg. Excipients with known effect lactose monohydrate sugars galactose For the full list of excipients, see Section 6.1 List of excipients. 3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Fucidin ® Tablets are approximately 7.8 x 16.0 mm white to off-white greyish marble film coated oval biconvex tablets without embossing. 4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 T HERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Treatment of localised, as well as generalised, staphylococcal infections caused by susceptible organisms. In severe infections, deep-seated infections, infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococci or when prolonged therapy may be required, Fucidin ® must be given concurrently with other anti-staphylococcal antibiotic therapy. 4.2 D OSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION Fucidin ® tablets should be taken without a meal to avoid a reduction in the extent and rate of absorption of Fucidin ® by a concomitant meal. In severe infections, deep-seated infections, infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococci or when prolonged therapy may be required, Fucidin ® must be given concurrently with other anti-staphylococcal antibiotic therapy. Such combinations may produce enhanced activity, broaden the antibacterial spectrum and minimise the risk of the development of resistance to fusidic acid and its salt. In general, full dosage of each antibiotic should be used and in very severe cases, the dosage of Fucidin ® may also be doubled. The average duration of treatment is 5 – 10 days although more severe infection may require a longer treatment period. eDoc-000796173 - Version 3. 0 Fucidin Tablets Dosage in Hepatic Insufficiency: Dosage reduction may be necessary in patients with hepatic impairment, since the active ingredient is cleared from the blood via hepatic metabolism.
