Mupicip Ointment
₹113.62
Mupicip Ointment is a prescription topical antibiotic used to treat various bacterial skin infections like impetigo, recurring boils, and infected cuts or wounds. Its active ingredient is mupirocin (2% w/w).
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Mupirocin (2% w/w).
- Mechanism of Action: Mupirocin works by stopping the production of essential proteins that bacteria need to survive and grow. This action effectively kills the bacteria and prevents the infection from spreading.
- Uses: It is prescribed for localized bacterial skin infections, including:
- Impetigo (a highly contagious skin infection with red sores or itchy patches)
- Folliculitis (infection of the hair follicles)
- Furunculosis (pus-filled bumps under the skin/boils)
- Infections in small cuts, wounds, or abrasions
- Infected eczema and dermatitis (to prevent bacterial infections)
- Administration:
- For external use only.
- Clean and dry the affected area of the skin thoroughly before applying.
- Apply a thin layer of the ointment using a clean cotton swab or fingertip to the affected area, generally 2-3 times daily, or as directed by a doctor.
- Wash hands before and after application.
- A dressing or plaster can be applied over the treated area if advised by the doctor.
- The full course of treatment (typically up to 10 days) must be completed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
- Common Side Effects: Most side effects are temporary and localized, including itching, a burning or stinging sensation, redness, rash, or pain at the application site.
- Precautions:
- Prescription Required: Mupicip Ointment is a prescription medication.
- Avoid Contact: Do not apply in or near the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Open Wounds: Avoid using on large open wounds or severely burnt skin without consulting a doctor first.
- Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to mupirocin or any other ingredients in the ointment.
- Fungal/Viral Infections: It is an antibacterial agent and is not effective against fungal or viral infections.
