CompositionMupibact Ointment is used to treat localised bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, infected hair follicles, and minor infected wounds. It contains mupirocin, an antibiotic that works differently from most other antibiotics by blocking an enzyme bacteria need to make proteins, stopping them from growing and multiplying.
Clean and dry the affected area before applying a small amount of ointment. Continue using it for the full duration prescribed, even if the skin looks better, to make sure the infection has fully cleared.
Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or other personal items while you have an active infection, and wash your hands before and after applying the ointment to prevent the infection from spreading to others.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any known allergy to antibiotic ointments. Avoid applying it near the eyes, nose, or mouth. Stop using it and consult your doctor if the area becomes more red, swollen, or painful, or if you notice a rash.
