Fucidin 2% Ointment (also known as Fusidic Acid 2% Ointment) is a topical antibiotic medication used for the treatment of various bacterial skin infections. It contains the active ingredient fusidic acid, which belongs to the class of antibiotics known as fusidanes. Fusidic acid works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping the growth and spread of bacteria. This ointment is indicated for external use only and is effective against a wide range of bacteria, particularly those commonly associated with skin infections such as Staphylococcus aureus.

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: It is effective against many common bacteria that cause skin infections, including impetigo, folliculitis, boils, and infected wounds or cuts.
• Effective Antibacterial Action: The fusidic acid in the ointment inhibits bacterial growth, which helps in clearing the infection and promoting the healing of the affected skin.
