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.
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.
MUPIROCIN is a topical ointment commonly used to treat skin infections, such as bacterial skin infections and eruptions. Some side effects may occur during use, including skin itching, burning, dryness and redness. Occasionally, sensitivity reactions such as skin irritation, itching, or rash may occur. If serious side effects occur, such as skin breakdown, blisters, or difficulty breathing, you should stop using the drug immediately and seek medical advice. Please read the instructions carefully before use. If you have any questions, please consult your doctor.
MUPIROCIN is a topical antibiotic drug commonly used to treat skin infections such as rashes, pustules, and minor wound infections. However, the following contraindications should be noted when using MUPIROCIN:
1. Allergy to MUPIROCIN: If you are allergic to MUPIROCIN or any of its ingredients, you should avoid using this drug. An allergic reaction may include symptoms such as skin redness, itching, burning, or rash.
2. Avoid contact with mucous membranes: MUPIROCIN is only suitable for use on the skin surface. Avoid contact with mucous membranes such as eyes, mouth, and nasal cavities. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical assistance.
3. Avoid long-term use: MUPIROCIN is usually used for short-term treatment. Long-term and large-scale use may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. Medications should be used as directed by your doctor, and do not extend the use time or increase the dose on your own.
4. Pregnant and lactating women: Pregnant or lactating women should consult a doctor before using MUPIROCIN. Although topical use is less absorbed, it should still be used with caution to avoid adverse effects on the fetus or infant.
In summary, you should read the instructions carefully before using MUPIROCIN, follow the doctor or pharmacist's recommendations when using the drug, and pay attention to contraindications to ensure safe and effective treatment. If you have any questions or adverse reactions, you should consult a medical professional immediately.
