Product Description

What is Bactroban 5gm?

Bactroban 5gm is an antibiotic ointment used to treat certain skin infections such as impetigo (red sores), recurring boils, and infected hair follicles. These infections are generally caused by bacteria. This medicine stops the growth of infection-causing bacteria on your skin by inhibiting necessary proteins recruited for their survival. You should use it regularly as long as it is prescribed.

How does it work?

Bactroban 5gm contains Mupirocin as an active component. It is a unique antimicrobial agent that kills the bacteria that cause skin infection. This medicine prevents the synthesis of essential proteins that are necessary for the growth and survival of the bacteria. Thus, it helps to prevent bacteria from causing skin infection and stops them from spreading.
