Mupicip Ointment is a topical medicine that is applied directly to the skin. It is not taken orally or internally.

The active ingredient in Mupicip Ointment is mupirocin.

• Mupirocin targets specific bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which are commonly associated with impetigo.
• It has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-negative organisms like Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae.
• By disrupting bacterial protein synthesis, mupirocin prevents them from producing essential proteins necessary for their survival and effectively stops them from multiplying and spreading.
• This mechanism specifically targets bacterial cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed.
• Mupirocin's action helps in reducing inflammation, preventing further damage to the skin, and promoting healing.
