The effects of these medicines could be changed by CELMANTIN or they could change the effects of CELMANTIN.
If the patient needs to take oral fusidic acid to treat a bacterial infection he/she will need to temporarily stop using this medicine. The doctor will tell the patient when it is safe to restart CELMANTIN. Taking CELMANTIN with fusidic acid may rarely lead to muscle weakness, tenderness or pain (rhabdomyolysis).
