Fusidic acid is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. Fusidic acid interferes with amino acid transfer from aminoacyl-tRNA to protein on the ribosomes. Fusidic acid is active against a wide range of gram-positive organisms. The sustained release formulation ensures prolonged contact with the conjunctival sac. Fusidic acid penetrates well into the aqueous humor.

Fusidic acid is a bacteriostatic antibiotic and helps prevent bacterial growth while the immune system clears the infection.

Mometasone is a corticosteroid demonstrating anti-inflammatory properties. The precise mechanism of corticosteroids action on allergic rhinitis is not known. Corticosteroids have been shown to have a wide range of effects on multiple cell types (e.g., mast cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes) and mediators (e.g., histamine, eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and cytokines) involved in inflammation.

Mometasone is a medium-potency synthetic corticosteroid with antiinflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. Studies in asthmatic patients have demonstrated that mometasone provides a favorable ratio of topical to systemic activity due to its primary local effect along with the extensive hepatic metabolism and the lack of active metabolites. Though effective for the treatment of asthma, glucocorticoids do not affect asthma symptoms immediately. Maximum improvement in symptoms following inhaled administration of mometasone furoate may not be achieved for 1 to 2 weeks or longer after starting treatment. When glucocorticoids are discontinued, asthma stability may persist for several days or longer. Mometasone has been shown in vitro to exhibit a binding affinity for the human glucocorticoid receptor which is approximately 12 times that of dexamethasone, 7 times that of triamcinolone acetonide, 5 times that of budesonide, and 1.5 times that of fluticasone. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown.

Uses

Fusidic Acid is used for the topical treatment of superficial bacterial infections of the eye and its adnexa. These may include - bacterial conjunctivitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, blepharitis, sty and keratitis. It may also be used for the management of corneal and conjunctival abrasions and foreign body injuries.

Mometasone cream is used for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid- responsive dermatoses, such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Fiansy Tube is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Bacterial Conjunctivitis, Eye and eyelid infections, Fungal skin infection, Skin Infections caused by Corynebacterium minutissimum infection, Skin Infections caused by Staphylococcus Aureus, Skin Infections caused by Streptococcus Infection, Skin Infections, Bacterial, Stye, Cutaneous dermatophyte infection, Eczematous rash, Mild Atopic dermatitis, Mild Dermatitis caused by Staphylococcus aureusis, Moderate Atopic dermatitis, Moderate Dermatitis caused by Staphylococcus aureusis, Ocular bacterial infections, Susceptible Bacterial InfectionsAllergic Rhinitis (AR), Asthma, Bacterial Sinusitis, Dermatitis, Pruritus, Sinusitis

How Fiansy Tube works

Fusidic acid works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, specifically by preventing the translocation of the elongation factor G (EF-G) from the ribosome. It also can inhibit chloramphenicol acetyltransferase enzymes.

Unbound corticosteroids cross cell membranes and bind with high affinity to specific cytoplasmic receptors. Inflammation is decreased by diminishing the release of leukocytic acid hydrolases, prevention of macrophage accumulation at inflamed sites, interference with leukocyte adhesion to the capillary wall, reduction of capillary membrane permeability, reduction of complement components, inhibition of histamine and kinin release, and interference with the formation of scar tissue. The antiinflammatory actions of corticosteroids are thought to involve phospholipase A₂ inhibitory proteins, lipocortins, which control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Mometasone furoate has been shown in vitro to exhibit a binding affinity for the human glucocorticoid receptor which is approximately 12 times that of dexamethasone, 7 times that of triamcinolone acetonide, 5 times that of budesonide, and 1.5 times that of fluticasone.

Dosage

Fiansy Tube dosage

Adults and children (≥ 2 years): Instill one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily for 7 days. Treatment should be continued for at least 48 hours after the eye returns to normal.

A thin film of Mometasone Furoate cream should be applied to the affected skin areas once daily.Safety and effectiveness in paediatric patients below 2 years of age have not been established.

Side Effects

Fusidic acid is generally associated with very few adverse effects. The most frequently reported treatment-related side-effect is slight stinging or irritation.

Mometasone Furoate cream is generally well tolerated. Burning, Pruritus and skin atrophy may occur.

Toxicity

The potential for acute toxic effects following overdose with the mometasone inhaler is low. However, habitual overuse of the product can cause symptoms of steroid overload, including menstrual irregularities, acne, obesity, and muscle weakness. Single oral doses up to 8000 µg have been studied on human volunteers with no adverse events reported.

Precaution

For ophthalmic use only
To avoid possible contamination of the drops, do not touch the tube nozzle or to any surface
Do not wear contact lenses during the treatment
If more than one topical eye drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least five (5) minutes interval between applications

If irritation develops with the use of Mometasone Furoate cream, treatment should be discontinued.

Interaction

Synergistic action with antistaphylococcal penicillin. Antagonism with ciprofloxacin.

Elimination Route

Sodium fusidic acid tablets have a 91% oral bioavailability. Absorption of the film-coated tablets is complete when compared to a solution, however oral absorption is variable. Oral fusidic acid hemihydrate (suspension) achieved a 22.5% bioavailability in pediatric patients following a 20 milligram/kilogram dose.

Nasal spray is virtually undetectable in plasma

Half Life

Approximately 5 to 6 hours in adults.

5.8 hours

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Use in pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Fusidic acid should be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Use in lactation: It is not clear if enough medication from the eye drop would pass into breast milk. Caution should be exercised while giving this eye drops to a nursing mother

Pregnancy: There is no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women.

Lactation: It is not known whether this drug passes into breast milk.
