Dosage:

The brand Fucithalmic is available as a 1% viscous eye drop solution in a 5 g tube. Your doctor will determine the safe and effective dosage based on your individual needs.

Usage:

Fucithalmic Viscous Eye Drops are a prescription medication used to treat infections on the surface of the eye. Examples of such infections are: Inflammation of the white of the eye, caused by bacteria (called “conjunctivitis” or “red eye”).

Mechanism of Action
Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that contains the active ingredient in Fucithalmic. This antibiotic works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Specifically, it disrupts the function of elongation factor G (EF-G), a protein essential for ribosomal translocation during protein synthesis. This disruption halts the movement of the ribosome along mRNA, preventing the formation of necessary bacterial proteins. Consequently, bacterial growth and replication are suppressed, leading to a bacteriostatic effect. This targeted mechanism of action selectively impairs bacterial cells while minimizing impact on human cellular processes, facilitating the resolution of bacterial conjunctivitis and other susceptible ocular infections.

Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic that is effective only against bacterial infections. It is ineffective against viral infections, such as those that cause the common cold or influenza.

It is crucial to use Fucithalmic Viscous Eye Drops exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the product monograph in Canada.
