Efficacy
A study by Jackson et al. has demonstrated the clinical efficacy of Fucithalmic versus tobramycin in the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis.1
A study by Hvidberg has demonstrated the clinical efficacy of Fucithalmic versus chloramphenicol in the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis.2
A study by Wall et al. has demonstrated Fucithalmic as being as effective as norfloxacin in the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis.2
A study by DV Seal et al has demonstrated clinical efficacy of Fucithalmicin patients having chronic blepharitis with rosacea.4
75% of patients with rosacea improved with fusidic acid alone (p<0.01); 50% with oxytetracycline, but only 35% with the combination In patients without rosacea: 90% were worse with fusidic acid alone but 25% improved with oxytetracycline
