Bactroban Nasal Ointment (active ingredient: mupirocin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Nasal Carriage of Staphylococcus aureus: Bactroban Nasal Ointment is used to eliminate Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA), from the nasal passages.
  2. Prevention of Surgical Site Infections: It is indicated to prevent infections in patients undergoing certain types of surgery by decolonizing the bacteria in the nose.

Bactroban Nasal Ointment belongs to a class of drugs known as topical antibiotics, which work by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby eliminating the infection.

To use Bactroban nasal ointment, a small amount of the ointment should be applied to the anterior nares (nostrils) twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) for five days as directed by your healthcare provider. The recommended dosages of Bactroban Nasal Ointment can vary depending on the condition being treated and the patient’s age.

When applied to the inside of the nostrils, Bactroban Nasal Ointment works specifically on bacteria that can commonly live in the nose, such as Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains known as MRSA). It is used to treat and prevent infections in the nose, including MRSA.

  5. Remove the tube from the nostril and repeat the process for the other nostril.
