How Mupirax B Ointment works

Mupirax B Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Mupirocin which treat skin infections. Betamethasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Mupirocin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane.

It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor.
Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Mupirax B Ointment.
Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin.
It may cause minor burning, stinging or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
