A numerical feline score cannot responsibly be assigned. Georgian MIS records Fusix as a 5 ml bottle under რ-041616, while the located official foreign Fusix information describes a 5 g tube. No source maps that tube, its leaflet, container, excipients, dosing or after-opening life to the Georgian authorisation. The authorised veterinary Isathal label and fusidic-acid literature are non-transferable context, not evidence for this exact local human product.
The Georgian Fusix record is preserved exactly as a 5 ml bottle. Keep the assessment unscored and the calculator blocked until an exact Georgian leaflet or dated pack resolves the conflict with the foreign 5 g tube and supplies a dog/cat evidence bridge.
Important safety and use flags
- Identity boundary: Georgian MIS records Fusix as a 5 ml bottle (რ-041616); the located official foreign Fusix information describes a 5 g tube. Do not replace the Georgian unit or select the tube leaflet without direct mapping evidence.
- No dog or cat dose is established for this exact Georgian presentation. The calculator must remain blocked; do not scale a human regimen, copy Isathal dosing or derive drops from concentration.
- Container, dropper or tube design, viscosity, excipients, preservative, preparation, storage and after-opening life are not established for the exact Georgian authorisation. Do not transfer these facts from a foreign presentation.
- Examine the eye before any antimicrobial decision. Pain, blepharospasm, corneal opacity or defect, trauma, foreign body, anterior uveitis, glaucoma, or a melting/progressive ulcer requires immediate fluorescein testing and an appropriate ophthalmic plan.
- Non-transferable class context only: authorised veterinary fusidic acid has a narrow staphylococcal scope and is not suitable for suspected Pseudomonas, fungal or viral disease. That comparator does not validate either Georgian human product.
- In cats, investigate FHV-1, Chlamydia felis, Mycoplasma, trauma and eyelid or tear-film disease. Fusidic-acid class evidence does not support monotherapy for chlamydiosis or another primary cause.
- This is a Georgian-authorised human product, not the authorised veterinary comparator. Isathal authorisation, target-animal tolerance, pregnancy statements and benefit-risk conclusions do not transfer.
- Exact-product ocular irritation, hypersensitivity, reproductive safety, immature-animal safety and repeated-course tolerance are not established for dogs or cats. Stop and reassess any worsening or suspected reaction.
- Use cytology and culture or susceptibility testing where bacterial infection is severe, recurrent, ulcerative, previously treated or non-responsive. Class resistance data cannot identify susceptibility for an individual patient.
- Do not start or continue empirical treatment from this record. Obtain the exact Georgian leaflet or inspect and document a dated physical pack, then reassess diagnosis, presentation, dose, handling and course before use.
