Mupirax ointment is used to treat bacterial skin infections such as boils, infected wounds, and superficial ulcers. It works by killing the bacteria causing the infection and preventing its spread to surrounding tissues. This speeds up the healing process and reduces associated symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain. It helps the patient restore skin integrity in a safe and effective manner.
It is also used to treat minor skin infections that may result from scratches or simple wounds.
Mupirax disinfects the affected area and prevents the growth of microbes that can lead to serious complications. It also helps protect the skin from secondary infections and promotes rapid tissue healing, making it an important option recommended by doctors as an effective topical treatment for bacterial skin infections.
