Fusidic Acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic derived from Cladosporium fuciforme. Its core production involves fermentation followed by chemical modification. The molecular formula is C31H47NO5, and the CAS number is 60-24-8.
Contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to fusidic acid derivatives. Requires storage below 25°C in dry conditions. Clinical use demands monitoring for potential drug interactions and resistance development.
