Clinical Pharmacology

Fuzidova acid belongs to the group of fuzidin, antimicrobial compounds, the mechanism of action of which is associated with impaired protein synthesis in a bacterial cell. By blocking the elongation of factor G, they prevent its binding to ribosomes and guanosine triphosphate, which interrupts the release of the energy required for protein synthesis, and leads to the death of the bacterial cell.

Active against microorganisms that most often cause eye infections:

Staphylococcus aureus.
Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Haemophilus influenzae.

Enterobacteriaciae and Pseudomonas spp. resistant to fusidic acid.

Pharmacokinetics

The dosage form of the drug (viscous eye drops) provides long-term contact with the conjunctiva and a sufficient concentration of fusidic acid in the tear fluid, provided it is used 2 times / day.

After 1, 3, 6 and 12 hours after a single application of Fucithalmic, the average concentration of fusidic acid in the tear fluid is 15.7; 15.2; 10.5 and 5.6 mcg / ml, respectively. In intraocular fluid, the concentration of fusidic acid, equal to 0.3 μg / ml (after a single application) and 0.8 μg / ml (after repeated use), is reached within 1 h after application and maintained for at least 12 h, while fusidic serum acid is not detected.

Indications

Treatment of bacterial infections of the eyes caused by microorganisms sensitive to the drug:

Conjunctivitis.
