How It Works

How It Works

Mupirocin Ointment works directly at the infection site by stopping bacterial growth and killing bacteria that cause skin infections. The mechanism of action involves blocking bacterial protein synthesis. Without essential proteins, bacteria cannot survive or replicate, leading to the elimination of the infection. It is especially effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, common causes of skin infections.
