The B Bact Ointment contains mupirocin (2%), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibition of Bacterial Isoleucyl-tRNA Synthetase: Mupirocin blocks a key enzyme called bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase in your body. This enzyme is essential for the production of proteins in bacteria.

• Prevention of Protein Synthesis: By inhibiting this enzyme, mupirocin effectively prevents protein synthesis in bacteria which stops their multiplication and spread at the site of infection.

• Bacteriostatic and Bactericidal Effects: Mupirocin has a bacteriostatic effect that prevents bacteria from multiplying and at higher concentrations achieved through topical application, it has a bactericidal effect that kills them.

• Store B Bact Ointment in a cool, dry place at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep the ointment out of reach of children.

• Remember to always use the product before its expiry date.

• Maintaining proper hygiene is crucial when managing skin infections. Regularly washing hands, keeping wounds clean, and avoiding sharing personal items can help prevent bacterial spread.

• A diet rich in vitamins C and E can support skin health. These nutrients, found in citrus fruits and leafy greens, help to promote healing and strengthen your skin's natural defence against infections.
