I have been on fusidic acid cream for four months and the thing nobody warned me about is the tolerance. Sleep is the variable that moves everything else. Bad night, worse day, more tolerance.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.

Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write. Not on fusidic acid cream but the pattern is familiar.

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule. Same for me with fusidic acid cream, unfortunately.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism.

Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. How long have you been on fusidic acid cream?

My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.
