Description
Bactroban 2% ointment is a topical antibiotic medication commonly used to treat skin infections. It contains the active ingredient mupirocin, which works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby killing susceptible bacteria or preventing their growth.
It is typically applied directly to the affected area of the skin. As with any medication, it’s essential to use Bactroban ointment exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve before it is finished. If you have any questions or concerns about using Bactroban ointment, it’s best to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for guidance.
