Indications

Bactroban cream is an antibiotic cream used to treat certain skin infections, such as impetigo, caused by specific types of bacteria. It contains the active ingredient mupirocin calcium.

Bactroban cream should be used as directed by a healthcare provider, and the affected area should be cleaned before applying the cream. The cream should be applied topically 2-3 times per day for up to 10 days, depending on the severity of the infection.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start using mupirocin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Use this medication only on the skin. Clean and dry the affected area first. Then apply a small amount of ointment to the area as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. You may cover the treated area with a bandage.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Continue to use it for the full-time prescribed, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.

Avoid using this medication around your eyes, nose, mouth, or on large areas of damaged or broken skin unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If you accidentally get it in your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse well with plenty of water.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better in 3 to 5 days.
