6How to Get the Most from Mupirocin
Below are some useful tips to help you get the most from mupirocin ointment:
– This drug should only be used in the short term
– If you do not apply mupirocin on schedule or miss doses, the drug would stop working completely or be not as effective as expected
– For a missed dose, make sure to apply the medication as soon as you remember. If this occurs several hours before the best dose, then only apply once
– A sudden stop would worsen the infection
– If you apply mupirocin ointment too much, bacteria may become resistant and reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
– If the medication is working, symptoms should improve within 3 to 5 days [7]
