Composition:-
Mupirocin ointment
Uses:-
Mupirocin ointment is an antibiotic medication used topically to treat bacterial skin infections. It works by killing bacteria or preventing their growth, thereby treating the infection. Mupirocin ointment is commonly used to treat impetigo, a contagious skin infection caused by bacteria, as well as other minor skin infections like folliculitis and infected cuts or wounds.
Side Effects:-
While Mupirocin ointment is generally safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects. Common side effects may include burning, stinging, itching, or irritation at the application site. These effects are usually temporary and improve with continued use. In rare cases, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling may occur. If any severe side effects occur or if symptoms persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Indication:-
This ointment is indicated for individuals with bacterial skin infections characterized by redness, swelling, and pus-filled lesions. Impetigo, often seen in children, appears as honey-colored crusts on the skin. Folliculitis is an infection of hair follicles, causing red bumps or pustules. Mupirocin ointment is suitable for adults and children and helps to effectively treat these bacterial skin infections.
