Mupirocin USP 2%w/w ointment
Mupirocin USP 2% is a topical antibacterial medication used to treat skin infections caused by certain types of bacteria. The "USP" in its name stands for United States Pharmacopeia, which is a set of standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medications and other healthcare products. The "2%" indicates the concentration of mupirocin in the formulation.
Mupirocin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with their protein synthesis. It is commonly prescribed for bacterial skin infections such as impetigo (a contagious skin infection), secondary skin infections due to other skin conditions like eczema or atopic dermatitis, and other localized bacterial infections.
It‚s important to follow your healthcare provider‚s instructions when using mupirocin or any medication. Apply the medication as directed, usually two to three times a day, and make sure to clean and dry the affected area before applying the ointment. Avoid using the medication for an extended period of time or more frequently than prescribed, as this can lead to antibiotic resistance.
As always, consult with a medical professional before using any medication, and inform them of any existing medical conditions or allergies you might have.
