What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Fuzic?
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For Fuzic, the following should be considered:
Allergies
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to Fuzic or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking Fuzic, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using Fuzic with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
- Atorvastatin
- Pravastatin
- Ritonavir
- Saquinavir
- Simvastatin
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of Fuzic. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Liver disease—May be worsened by Fuzic
Fuzic precautions
Apply to skin only for necessary period because bacterial resistance by Fuzic may occur.
There is some possibility that sensitization from Fuzic may occur. If these symptoms eg, itching, rash, swelling, comedo or vesiculosa, occur, discontinue use.
Because Fuzic has high penetration property, do not apply for long periods or on broad region of the skin.
Appearance of bacterial resistance by topical use may affect the systemic use of this antibiotic. But in general, this resistant bacteria may be susceptible to Fuzic again in a short time.
Use in pregnancy: There are reports to suggest that when given systemically Fuzic can penetrate the placental barrier. The use of topical application in pregnancy requires that potential benefits should be outweighed against the possible hazards to the fetus.
Use in lactation: Use in lactating mothers with breast infection may result in absorption to infants.
Safety in nursing mothers has not been established. When Fuzic has been given systemically, levels has been detected in breast milk but with topical use the possible amount of Fuzic present is unlikely to affect the infant.
Use in children: Since premature infant and neonate have premature liver function, long-term and wide application may result in hepatic disorder.
