Drug introduction

Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic medication used to treat skin infections such as impetigo and boils. It kills or inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria. Mupirocin is available for adults and children, usually for daily application. Before use, clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of ointment. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and open wounds. If allergic reaction or serious adverse reaction occurs, please stop use and seek medical advice immediately. In Hong Kong, mupirocin may be available with a doctor's prescription, so use it as directed and do not share the medicine with others. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, seek medical attention promptly. This is a common medication, but it still needs to be used with caution to ensure safe and effective treatment of the infection.

Dosage

Instructions for use: MUPIROCIN is an ointment for external use and should be applied to clean and cleaned skin surfaces. Wash your hands before use, then apply the ointment to the affected area of skin and massage gently until completely absorbed. Generally, use it 2-3 times a day and continue until the infection completely subsides. There is no need to take the ointment with food, but contact of the ointment with the eyes or oral mucosa should be avoided.

Dosage Guidelines: The recommended dosage of MUPIROCIN for adults and children is to apply enough ointment to cover the infected area and massage gently until absorbed. The starting dose is usually about 0.5 to 1 centimeter of ointment applied at a time. For children, the dose may be adjusted based on age and severity of infection, and use under the guidance of a physician is recommended. If the infection does not improve or worsens, a physician should be consulted for dose adjustment or further treatment recommendations.
