4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

For the treatment of bacterial infections.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic and helps prevent bacterial growth while the immune system clears the infection.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Anti-Bacterial Agents

Substances that inhibit the growth or reproduction of BACTERIA. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Bacterial Agents.)


Protein Synthesis Inhibitors

Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins. (See all compounds classified as Protein Synthesis Inhibitors.)

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Sodium fusidic acid tablets have a 91% oral bioavailability. Absorption of the film-coated tablets is complete when compared to a solution, however oral absorption is variable. Oral fusidic acid hemihydrate (suspension) achieved a 22.5% bioavailability in pediatric patients following a 20 milligram/kilogram dose.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Metabolites include dicarboxylic ester/acid, 3-keto fusidic acid, hydroxy fusidic acid, glucuronide fusidic acid and a glycol metabolite.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Approximately 5 to 6 hours in adults.


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Fusidic acid works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, specifically by preventing the translocation of the elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome. It also can inhibit chloramphenicol acetyltransferase enzymes.
