Fusidic acid eye drops are active against a wide range of gram-positive organisms, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. Other species against which fusidic acid eye drops have been shown to have in vitro activity include Streptococcus, Neisseria, Haemophilus, Moraxella and Corynebacteria.
The sustained release formulation of Fusidic acid eye drops ensures a prolonged contact with the conjunctival sac. Twice daily application provides sufficient fusidic acid concentrations in all relevant tissues of the eye. Fusidic acid penetrates well into the aqueous humour.
There are no pre-clinical data of relevance to the prescriber which are additional to that already included in other sections of the SPC.
