Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated September 2026
Fusigen Powder contains Sodium Fusidate (20mg). It belongs to the Topical antibacterial class of medicines.
Fusidic acid inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding elongation factor G (EF-G) on the 50S ribosome, blocking translocation; active mainly against Staphylococcus species.
Clean and dry the affected area; dust a thin layer of Fusigen Powder 2–3 times daily; avoid occlusive dressings unless advised; typical course 5–7 days or as prescribed.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Most side effects of Fusigen are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
