Fucidin 20 mg/g ointment

Fucidin is a well-established topical antibiotic containing sodium fusidate, a substance originally derived from the fungus Fusidium coccineum. It is primarily used to treat skin infections caused by Staphylococcal bacteria, including impetigo and infected dermatitis. The brand has a long history in dermatology and is a flagship product in the treatment of bacterial skin conditions worldwide.

The manufacturing of Fucidin is largely concentrated in Ballerup, Denmark (headquarters) and Dublin, Ireland, where the company maintains major production facilities. LEO Pharma manages a global supply chain to distribute the ointment to various international markets. Ownership of the brand remains with LEO Pharma, which is unique in the pharmaceutical industry as it is wholly owned by the LEO Foundation, ensuring that profits are reinvested into research and the company's long-term independence.
