Sodium Fusidate is a sodium salt of fusidic acid, a steroid antibiotic derived from Fusidium coccineum. Produced via fermentation and subsequent purification, it features the molecular formula C28H41NO6Na (CAS No. 1075-99-4). This compound acts by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis.
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to fusidic acid. Requires strict storage in cool, dry conditions below 25°C. Clinical use mandates monitoring for potential hepatotoxicity during prolonged systemic therapy.
