Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by reversibly binding to isoleucyl‑tRNA synthetase. This stops bacterial growth and helps clear the skin infection.

How to take Mupisign Ointment

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the infected skin 2–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor; may be covered with a sterile gauze dressing. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and inside the nose unless prescribed; wash hands after application.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
