What is Mupirocin? |
Mupirocin, an antibiotic, is used to treat impetigo as well

Mupirocin is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your
doctor or pharmacist for more information. |

How should this medicine be used? |
Mupirocin comes in an ointment that is applied to the skin.
Mupirocin usually is applied three times a day for 1-2
weeks. Follow the directions on your prescription label
carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any
part you do not understand. Use mupirocin exactly as
directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often
than prescribed by your doctor.
Wash the affected skin area thoroughly, and then gently
apply a small amount (a thin film) of the ointment. You may
cover the area with a sterile gauze dressing.
Do not apply mupirocin to your eyes.
Do not apply mupirocin to burns unless told to do so by your
doctor. |
