Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as T Bact Cream. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of T Bact Cream

T Bact Cream contains Mupirocin (2% w/w). It belongs to the Topical antibiotic (monoxycarbolic acid; isoleucyl‑tRNA synthetase inhibitor) class of medicines.

Uses of T Bact Cream

Topical treatment of bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, infected eczema/dermatitis, folliculitis, and secondary bacterial infection of minor cuts, wounds and abrasions caused by susceptible bacteria (commonly Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes).

Benefits of T Bact Cream

In Bacterial infection
T Bact 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
T Bact clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
In Skin infection
T Bact treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
In Dental infection
T Bact treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.

How T Bact Cream works

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.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 2-3 times daily or as prescribed. May be covered with sterile gauze. Use for the full prescribed duration; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, inside nose and large open wounds unless advised.

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