Mupimet Ointment is a topical medicine, which means it is applied externally on the skin and should not be taken orally.

Mupimet Ointment contains mupirocin, which is an antibiotic that helps fight bacterial skin infections. Mupirocin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria responsible for causing these infections.

Mupirocin targets specific proteins in the bacteria, preventing them from synthesizing essential components needed for their growth and survival. By disrupting these crucial processes, mupirocin effectively stops the bacteria from multiplying and spreading further.

This action specifically targets bacterial cells without affecting human cells, making it an effective treatment for bacterial skin infections while minimizing potential side effects. It halts their growth and eliminates the infection, helping your skin heal properly.
