Muoderm 2% Ointment is intended for external use only and should be applied directly to the affected area using a clean fingertip or a sterile cotton swab. Apply a thin layer to the affected skin and, if advised by your doctor, cover it with a suitable dressing. Wash your hands before and after application, and avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.

Muoderm 2% Ointment generally has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored under the recommended conditions. Always check the expiry date before use and do not use the product after it has expired. Once opened, use the ointment within the period stated on the packaging or as advised by your pharmacist.

Muoderm 2% Ointment contains mupirocin 2% w/w as its active ingredient. It is a topical antibiotic ointment for external use only, used to treat bacterial skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Mupirocin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying. The ointment also contains inactive ingredients, such as polyethylene glycol, which help deliver the active ingredient effectively to the affected area of the skin.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to mupirocin or any of the excipients in the formulation.
• Do not apply to the eyes. This product is for external skin use only and must not come into contact with the eyes.
• Do not apply to mucosal surfaces (such as inside the nose, mouth, or genitals) unless specifically directed by a doctor for a medically supervised indication.
• Do not use on deep wounds, puncture wounds, or severe burns without prior medical consultation.
• Do not use in children below the recommended age unless prescribed and supervised by a paediatric healthcare professional.
• Do not use if you have a known sensitivity to polyethylene glycol, as the ointment base contains polyethylene glycol which may be absorbed through damaged skin.

Since Muoderm 2% Ointment is a topical preparation, the risk of systemic drug interactions is generally low when applied to intact skin in small areas. However, the following interactions and precautions should be considered.

• Other topical preparations: Avoid applying other creams, ointments, or lotions to the same affected area at the same time, as this may reduce the effectiveness of mupirocin or increase the risk of skin irritation.
• Topical corticosteroids: Use together on the same area of skin only under medical supervision, as corticosteroids may alter the local immune response.
• Topical chloramphenicol: Avoid using topical chloramphenicol on the same area, as there is a known pharmacological antagonism between chloramphenicol and mupirocin.

• There are no known significant food interactions with Muoderm 2% Ointment because it is applied externally to the skin.

• Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are currently using, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, herbal medicines, and traditional remedies.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Muoderm 2% Ointment, especially if it will be applied to large areas of skin or broken skin.
