• Do not use leftover medicine for a different infection or share it with others.

✔️ Interaction

Interactions are generally limited with topical mupirocin when used as directed. However, avoid applying other topical medicines to the same area unless advised by your doctor, as mixing products may affect their performance.

✔️ Contraindications:

Dermocin should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to mupirocin or any component of the formulation.

✔️ Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Dermocin.
