Contents of the pack and additional information

1. What Fucithalmic is and what it is used for

Fucithalmic contains the active ingredient fusidic acid, which belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics for ophthalmic use.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections.

It is essential to follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing the treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw medicines down the drain or in the trash.

Fucithalmic gel is indicated for the treatment of conjunctivitis (superficial eye infections) caused by bacteria sensitive to fusidic acid.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before using Fucithalmic gel

Do not use Fucithalmic

  • if you are allergic to fusidic acid or any of the other components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to use Fucithalmic gel.

  • Do not wear contact lenses during treatment. You can restart wearing contact lenses 12 hours after completing the treatment.
  • You may experience blurred vision immediately after administering Fucithalmic gel. Do not drive or use machines until this effect has disappeared.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions regarding treatment duration. As with all antibiotics, widespread or repeated use may increase the risk of developing antibiotic resistance.

Using Fucithalmic gel with other medicines

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medicine.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Fucithalmic gel should only be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding if your doctor considers it necessary and follows their recommendations.

Driving and using machines

Fucithalmic has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines. However, you may experience blurred vision immediately after application. Do not drive or use machines until this effect has disappeared.

Fucithalmic gel contains benzalkonium chloride

This medicine contains 0.01% benzalkonium chloride, equivalent to 0.11 mg of benzalkonium chloride per gram of Fucithalmic gel.

Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses, altering their color. You should remove your contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes before putting them back on.

Benzalkonium chloride may cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eye or other corneal diseases (the transparent layer on the front of the eye). Consult your doctor if you experience any unusual sensation, itching, or pain in the eye after using this medicine.

3. How to use Fucithalmic gel

Follow the administration instructions for this medicine exactly as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is:

Adults and children (0-17 years)

Apply 1 drop of gel to the affected eye(s) twice a day.

Treatment should be continued for at least 2 days after complete resolution of the infection (when the eye returns to its normal appearance).

Consult your doctor if you do not observe improvement after 7 days of treatment.

Instructions for correct administration of the medicine:

With your head tilted back, pull down the lower eyelid and drop the gel into the conjunctival sac (the space between the eye and the eyelid) while looking up. Gently close your eyes and keep them closed for a few moments.

As this is a sterile preparation, follow these instructions:

  • Each patient will use their own container.
  • Apply the gel with maximum hygiene, washing your hands carefully and avoiding contact between the tube nozzle and any surface, including the eye.
  • Close the container tightly after application.
  • Discard the container after completing the treatment.

If you use more Fucithalmic gel than you should

If you have applied more Fucithalmic gel than you should, it is unlikely to cause an overdose effect. However, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

An overdose of Fucithalmic gel can be removed from the eyes with lukewarm water.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount used or ingested.

If you forget to use Fucithalmic gel

If you miss a dose, apply another as soon as possible. Then continue as indicated. Do not apply a double dose to make up for missed doses.

If you interrupt treatment with Fucithalmic gel

It is essential to complete the treatment cycle indicated by your doctor, even if you start to feel better after a few days. If you stop using this medicine before your doctor indicates, the infection may not be fully cured, and symptoms may return or worsen.

This may also lead to antibiotic resistance, reducing the effectiveness of Fucithalmic gel if you need to be treated again in the future.

If you have any further questions about using this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
