Fusidic acid is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is a type of steroid antibiotic, derived from the fungus Fusidium coccineum, and works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. Fusidic acid is used to treat skin and soft tissue infections, as well as some respiratory and urinary tract infections. It is also used to treat infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Fusidic acid is available in both oral and topical formulations, and is generally well tolerated with few side effects. Fusidic acid is a relatively inexpensive antibiotic, and is widely available in many countries. It is often used as a first-line treatment for bacterial infections, due to its effectiveness and low cost. However, it is not effective against all types of bacteria, and resistance to fusidic acid has been reported in some cases. Some companies in the Fusidic Acid market include GlaxoSmithKline, Pfizer, Merck, Sanofi, and Bayer. Show Less Read more
