A member asked:
Can you tell me what you suggest if i accidentally swallowed a drop of fusidic acid eye drops will it harm me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No harm at all: When you apply these drops to your eyes, some of it passes down the lacrimal drainage system into your nose and then down your throat with no harm. A direct application of a drop into the throat will do no harm.
