Key Information

- Active Ingredient: Mupirocin
- Mechanism of Action: It works by stopping the production of essential proteins that bacteria need to survive, which kills the bacteria or prevents their growth.

- Furunculosis (pus-filled bumps under the skin/boils)
- Infections in minor cuts, wounds, lacerations, or scraped skin

- Limitations: Mupicip Ointment is not effective against fungal or viral infections. It should not be used on large, open, or severely burnt skin areas without consulting a doctor.
How to Use
- Wash hands with soap and water before and after application (unless treating your hands).
