Mupirocin acts by blocking an enzyme that bacteria need in order to build their proteins. Without these proteins, bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes cannot grow or spread at the site of application. It works locally at the infected area of skin, helping to limit bacterial growth there.

Must not be used by anyone with known allergy (hypersensitivity) to mupirocin or to any ingredient of the ointment. Must not be used inside the nose, mouth or other mucosal surfaces — this ointment is formulated for use on the skin only. Check with a doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Check with a doctor first before using it for a long period, as prolonged use may allow non-susceptible organisms to grow. Check with a doctor first if watery diarrhoea occurs during or after treatment.
