What is bactroban ointment?

Have you ever heard about the skin condition Impetigo? This is a skin disease where red sores start appearing on the skin. You will see them commonly on the face, covering the mouth and nose area. For some people, it even affects the legs and hands area. Impetigo will spread easily from one part of the body to another if you touch the sores frequently. Also, it is contagious and hence can spread from one person to another when they get in contact. After a week, these sores will rupture and a crust is developed in honey-color. Usually, antibiotics are used for this condition and they come in many forms. Bactroban Ointment is one of the medicines that many people use for its treatment. The drug is used in treating recurring sores as well. It shows good results when used as per the doctor’s advice. This condition is more common in kids and young people than adults. So, treating it at an early stage is very important. 

 

Working Mechanism of Bactroban Ointment 

Bactroban Ointment comes in the form of an ointment. It contains Mupirocin. When the bacteria responsible for the cause of Impetigo enters the body, you will have that condition. So, after you start applying the ointment, it kills the bacteria causing this skin disease. For the bacteria to survive, the synthesis of important proteins is required. This ointment stops the synthesis process and the bacteria will not be able to survive. So, the bacteria do not grow and prevent the spread of the bacteria. But the medicine has to be applied with a lot of care and caution so that it does not spread to any other parts of the body.
