MUPIDERM Ointment is primarily used for the topical treatment of impetigo, a bacterial skin infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It helps eliminate the bacteria responsible for the infection, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of further infection. The active ingredient in MUPIDERM Ointment is Mupirocin, which works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This prevents the bacteria from growing and spreading, effectively treating the infection and promoting skin healing. For optimal results, apply a small amount of MUPIDERM Ointment to the affected area three times daily. It can be applied using a cotton swab or gauze pad, and you may cover the area with a gauze dressing if desired. Follow the prescribed duration of up to 10 days, and reassess if there is no improvement within 3 to 5 days. If you miss a dose, apply the ointment as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra ointment to make up for a missed dose. Common side effects may include burning, stinging, pain, or itching at the application site. Less common reactions include rash, dry skin, swelling, or increased exudate. If you experience severe reactions, such as blistering or swelling, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
