This helps to ensure that the infection is fully treated and reduces the risk of recurrence or antibiotic resistance. . It is applied topically as an ointment to the affected area and should be used as directed by a healthcare professional.

Mupirocin 2% w/w ointment contains the active ingredient mupirocin, which is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial skin infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, specifically targeting an enzyme called isoleucyl transfer-RNA synthetase. This prevents bacteria from producing essential proteins, leading to their death.
