Mupirocin 2% ointment

Mupirocin 2% ointment

 Mupirocin 2% ointment is a topical antibiotic used to treat bacterial skin infections. It contains the active component mupirocin, which inhibits bacterial growth and reproduction. This medicine is often used to treat impetigo, folliculitis, and other skin infections caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. Mupirocin 2% ointment is applied to the affected skin area two to three times daily for up to ten days, or as a healthcare provider advises. To ensure that the infection is effectively treated, use this medication as directed and complete the entire course of treatment.

Mupirocin 2% ointment is generally well tolerated, however some people may have side effects such as burning, itching, or stinging at the site of application. Some people may have an adverse reaction to the medicine, resulting in symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or throat. If you see any of these symptoms, seek medical attention right once.

Mupirocin 2% ointment is solely effective against bacterial infections and not against viral or fungal illnesses. It should also not be used for long-term treatment or for deep skin or internal organ infections. Consult a healthcare expert before using this drug if you are unsure about the kind or severity of your infection. 

It is critical to avoid taking mupirocin 2% ointment for longer than indicated or for causes other than those prescribed, as this can lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and become resistant to the actions of antibiotics, making future treatment more difficult. Use antibiotics exclusively as directed by a healthcare provider and do not share them with others to help prevent antibiotic resistance.
