The active ingredient in Bactoderm is Mupirocin, a naturally occurring antibiotic produced by the fermentation of Pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria. Mupirocin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It does this by binding reversibly and specifically to bacterial isoleucyl transfer-RNA synthetase, an enzyme essential for protein production in bacteria.
Mupirocin is highly effective against a wide range of bacteria responsible for most skin infections, including:
The drug is bactericidal at the concentrations achieved by topical use, although the bactericidal concentration is typically 8 to 30 times higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration.
Apply a small amount of Bactoderm ointment to the affected area three times daily for up to 10 days.
Pediatric Use:
Bactoderm ointment is safe and effective for children aged 2 months to 16 years, supported by clinical studies in pediatric patients with impetigo.
No drug interactions have been identified with Bactoderm ointment.
Bactoderm should not be used by individuals who have a known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to Mupirocin or any components of the ointment.
