Mupi Ointment composition contains Mupirocin (2 %) as its active ingredients.

• Mupirocin (2% w/w): It is an antibacterial agent that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through an enzyme called isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase. By inhibiting this enzyme, it prevents the incorporation of isoleucine into bacterial proteins, ultimately disrupting bacterial protein synthesis and leading to the inhibition of bacterial growth.
