Bactroban 2% Cream 15g

Bactroban 2% Cream is a topical antibiotic medicine containing mupirocin as its active ingredient. It's formulated as a cream, making it particularly suitable for moist or weeping skin infections where a lighter formulation may be preferred over an ointment. Some people using this cream may notice mild burning, stinging, itching, redness, or dryness at the application site, especially during the first few applications. Because it's an antibiotic, it's important to complete the full prescribed course even if the affected skin appears to improve early, as stopping too soon may allow the infection to return. Bactroban is manufactured by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline), a globally recognised pharmaceutical company with decades of experience in producing trusted anti-infective medicines.

A thin layer is typically applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily for up to 10 days, or as directed by your doctor. Do not use it for longer than prescribed without medical advice.

• Itching at the application site
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Redness
• Dryness of the skin
• Contact dermatitis (uncommon)
• Allergic skin reaction (rare)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the tube tightly capped after each use and out of reach of children.

• Clean the affected area gently before each application
• Apply only a thin layer to the affected skin
• Complete the full recommended course even if symptoms improve early
• Avoid covering the area with airtight dressings unless advised by your doctor
• Store in a cool, dry place away from bathroom humidity
• Wash your hands after application unless treating the hands themselves

Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the cream, gently rubbing it in until absorbed. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands themselves are being treated.

Bactroban 2% Cream generally has a shelf life of around 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when unopened and stored correctly. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube and carton before use.

Mupirocin 2% (as mupirocin calcium).

This cream should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to mupirocin or any of the other ingredients in the formulation. It is intended for short-term use and should not be used continuously or repeatedly without medical supervision.

Systemic drug interactions are unlikely because mupirocin is minimally absorbed through intact skin. However, applying other topical products to the same area at the same time may reduce effectiveness or increase skin irritation, so consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining treatments.
