Composition of Mupiven Ointment

Mupiven Ointment contains Mupirocin (2%w/w). It belongs to the Antibacterial agent class of medicines.

Uses of Mupiven Ointment

Mupiven Ointment is used in the treatment of bacterial skin infections.

Benefits of Mupiven Ointment

In Bacterial infection
Mupiven treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
In Gut infection
Mupiven clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection
Mupiven treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection
Mupiven treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.

How Mupiven Ointment works

Mupiven Ointment is an antibiotic. It kills the bacteria that cause skin infections by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for survival of bacteria. Thus, it prevents the skin infection from spreading.

How to take Mupiven Ointment

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

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

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Mupiven Ointment

Most side effects of Mupiven are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • Metallic taste
  • Loose motions
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
