About SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT

SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, such as impetigo (a weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin). Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the body through a scratch or cut in the skin. They often begin as small, red bumps that increase in size slowly.

SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT contains Beclomethasone dipropionate (corticosteroid) and Mupirocin (antibiotic). Beclomethasone dipropionate works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic that kills bacteria by causing them to produce faulty and abnormal proteins. Thus, it clears the infection.

Use SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT as prescribed. You are advised to use SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has recommended it based on your medical condition. SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT is for external use only. Avoid contact with SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT by nose, mouth, or eyes. In case SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Sometimes, SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT may cause common side effects such as itching, pain, stinging, or burning sensation at the application site. 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.

If you are allergic to Beclomethasone, Muprirocin or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT. SUPIROCIN B PLUS OINTMENT is not recommended for children unless advised by a doctor. Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressing unless your doctor advises.
