Mupicip Ointment

Drug | Ointment

Treatment of bacterial skin infections such as impetigo; infected small cuts, wounds, abrasions; secondary skin infections due to susceptible bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes).

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

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

Burning or stinging at application site, itching, redness, dryness, rash, pain/tenderness at application site

Use only on skin; avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use on large areas, deep wounds or severe burns unless advised by a doctor. Stop and seek medical advice if severe irritation, allergy (swelling, hives) or worsening occurs, or if no improvement in 3–5 days. Prolonged use may lead to overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. Use with caution in severe kidney disease if large amounts are used (some ointment bases may contain polyethylene glycol).

No significant interactions expected with topical use; avoid applying other topical products at the same site simultaneously unless advised as it may reduce efficacy/dilute the medicine.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Keep tube tightly closed and protect from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
