Bacterial resistance has been reported to occur with the use of fusidic acid. As with all antibiotics, extended or recurrent use may increase the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.
Pregnancy
Limited clinical data on exposed pregnancies is available. This data and animal studies and many years of clinical experience with systemic and topical fusidic acid suggest that fusidic acid is devoid of teratogenic effect. Consequently any risk to the foetus is unlikely using the very low doses of fusidic acid applied topically in FUCI CLEAR can be administered during pregnancy if considered necessary.
Lactation
No effects on the suckling child are anticipated since the systemic exposure of the breast-feeding woman to fusidic acid is negligible. FUCI CLEAR eye gel can be used during breast-feeding.

One drop to be instilled into the eye twice daily. Treatment should be continued for at least two days after the eye appears normal
