Mupicip Ointment is a topical medicine that is applied directly to the affected area of the skin for bacterial skin infections. It is not meant to be taken orally or internally.

The active ingredient in Mupicip Ointment is mupirocin, which acts as an antibacterial agent.

• Mupirocin inhibits the synthesis of essential proteins needed for bacteria survival.
• By preventing protein synthesis, it effectively kills the bacteria causing skin infections.
• This action helps contain the spread of infection and promotes healing.
• Mupirocin targets a specific enzyme called isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase in bacteria.
• By binding to this enzyme, mupirocin disrupts the process of protein production.
• Without proper protein synthesis, bacteria cannot grow or reproduce.
• As a result, the infection gradually clears up.
• Mupirocin's targeted action minimises the risk of resistance development among bacteria.
• It works specifically on Gram-positive bacteria commonly found on the skin.
• The precise mechanism of action ensures effective treatment for various bacterial skin infections.

• Store Mupicip Ointment in a cool, dry place.
• Protect it from excessive light and moisture.
• Keep the ointment out of reach and sight of children.

• Avoid sharing personal items like towels, clothes, or razors to prevent the spread of infection.
