About Mupitone-B Ointment

Mupitone-B Ointment is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Mupitone-B Ointment does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungi.

In some cases, you may experience rash, dry skin, swelling, redness or itching at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Do not cover the treated area with dressings or bandages unless advised by your doctor. Do not use Mupitone-B Ointment to treat serious burns, deep or puncture wounds or raw areas without consulting a doctor.
