Product Introduction
Mupimet Ointment is a topical antibiotic medication that treats bacterial skin infections. Mupirocin, the active ingredient, is an antibacterial agent capable of targeting a broad range of bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. This ointment has a role in localized mild infections of the skin such as impetigo, infected sores, cuts and wounds, and burns. It exerts its action speedily to restrict bacterial growth, lessen inflammation and speed wound healing.

- Folliculitis: Infection of the hair follicles causing small red bumps.
- Infected cuts and wounds: Prevents the spread of bacteria and speeds healing.
- Burn infection: Prevents bacterial colonization of burns.
- Secondary infections of the skin: For conditions such as eczema or dermatitis in which bacteria are involved.

- Do not cover unless directed: Avoid covering unless otherwise directed by a physician.
- Follow directions for how often to apply: In general, apply 2-3 times a day for 5-10 days.
- Wash hands immediately after application: This prevents accidental spreading to unwanted areas.
Refrain from using the ointment around eyes, nose, or mouth, unless directed by your doctor.
How It Works
This preparation contains Mupirocin, an inhibitor of the bacterial protein synthesis. It inhibits the enzyme isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, which therefore attempts to inhibit bacteria in the production of proteins necessary for growth and survival. It has a specifically targeted action toward the process of bacterial division, leading to destruction in the end.
In contrast to antibiotics given orally, Mupimet Ointment acts topically at the site of infection, thereby considerably lowering the possibility of developing bacterial resistance and reducing adverse effects.
Conclusion
Mupimet Ointment is a very strong topical prescription antibiotic used against bacterial skin infections. Impetigo, folliculitis, infected cuts, and minor burns are few of the commonly treated conditions. Minimal side effects make it a very nice treatment option if used properly and carefully. Careful use of it should also include proper hygiene and medical instruction to avert the onset of resistance and to ensure optimal results.
Always use this product for the prescribed duration, and if the infection does not improve after a few days, please consult a doctor.
