Bactroban Nasal Ointment contains the active ingredient mupirocin. It is a prescription antibiotic ointment used inside the nose to help remove certain bacteria.
Bactroban Nasal is used to eliminate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from the nasal passages.
It may be used in adults and healthcare workers as part of a broader infection-control program during MRSA outbreaks.
Reducing MRSA in the nose can help lower the chance of spreading the bacteria to other people who may be at high risk of infection.
Bactroban Nasal is not generally approved for routine prevention of surgical-site infections.
The prescribing information states that there is not enough evidence to recommend it for general infection prevention in all patients.
Bactroban Nasal belongs to a group of medications called topical antibiotics.
Mupirocin works by blocking an enzyme that bacteria need to make proteins.
Without these proteins, susceptible bacteria cannot grow normally and are eventually eliminated.
Bactroban Nasal is specifically designed for use inside the nose.
It should be used only for the condition and treatment period recommended by your healthcare provider.
Bactroban Nasal Ointment is applied inside both nostrils twice daily, usually once in the morning and once in the evening.
The usual treatment period is 5 days.
Use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Each tube is intended for one application only and should not be reused.
Use Bactroban Nasal Ointment in the morning and evening for 5 days, unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.
The safety and effectiveness of using it for longer than 5 days have not been established.
Bactroban Nasal is designed for use inside the nose.
Avoid getting the ointment in your eyes.
If it accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
Do not use other nasal ointments, sprays, or medications at the same time as Bactroban Nasal unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Using products together inside the nose may affect how the medication works.
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not use extra ointment to make up for a missed dose.
Bactroban Nasal is used to help remove MRSA bacteria from the nose as part of an infection-control treatment plan.
Use the medication for the full prescribed 5-day course, even if you feel well.
Bactroban Nasal Ointment (Mupirocin) is available in the following forms and strength:
Do not use Bactroban Nasal if you are allergic to mupirocin or any ingredient in the ointment.
Stop using it and seek medical attention if you develop:
Serious allergic reactions to mupirocin are uncommon but can occur.
Bactroban Nasal is specifically made for use inside the nostrils.
Do not use it in your eyes or on other parts of your body unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
If the ointment gets into your eyes, rinse them well with water.
Some people may experience mild irritation inside the nose, such as:
Contact your healthcare provider if the irritation becomes severe or does not improve.
Like other antibiotics, prolonged or unnecessary use of mupirocin can allow bacteria or fungi that are not affected by the medication to grow.
Use Bactroban Nasal only for the prescribed 5-day treatment course unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.
Using antibiotics when they are not needed or using them incorrectly may contribute to antibiotic resistance.
Use Bactroban Nasal exactly as prescribed and complete the full course.
Do not use other nasal ointments, sprays, or medications at the same time unless your healthcare provider says it is safe.
Using multiple products together may change how the medication works or increase irritation.
Important whole-body drug interactions are unlikely because only a small amount of mupirocin is absorbed.
Still, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, supplements, and nasal treatments you use.
The safety and effectiveness of Bactroban Nasal have not been well established in young children.
Use it in a child only when specifically prescribed by a healthcare provider.
Do not use more ointment, apply it more often, or continue treatment longer than prescribed.
Using too much is unlikely to improve treatment and may increase irritation or the risk of resistant organisms.
Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe nasal irritation, worsening symptoms, signs of another infection, or an allergic reaction.
Seek emergency medical attention if you have trouble breathing or develop severe swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Yes, in most cases. Bactroban Nasal contains mupirocin, which is not related to penicillin. A penicillin allergy does not automatically mean you will be allergic to mupirocin. However, tell your healthcare provider about all medication allergies before starting treatment.
Bactroban Nasal is usually used twice daily for 5 days. It begins working against susceptible bacteria after it is applied, but you may not notice any symptoms changing because nasal MRSA colonization often does not cause symptoms. Your healthcare provider may decide whether follow-up testing or another treatment course is needed.
No. Bactroban Nasal Ointment is a prescription medication. You need a prescription from a healthcare provider to obtain it.
