CompositionSupiroban Ointment 5 gm is used to treat localised skin infections, such as impetigo (crusty sores), infected hair follicles and minor wounds that have become red and painful. It is a single-ingredient antibiotic medicine containing mupirocin, highly effective at killing bacteria that common first-aid creams might miss.
This ointment works by blocking the specific enzyme that bacteria need to build their proteins; without these proteins, the bacteria cannot survive or reproduce. Because it works differently from most antibiotics, it is often effective against resistant germs like MRSA. Clean and dry the area before applying a small amount of ointment, usually three times a day. You can cover the area with a bandage if needed.
Continue using the ointment for the full duration prescribed, even if the skin looks better, to ensure all the bacteria are gone. This ointment is a reliable way to stop a small skin infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.
