About Mupirocin (generic Bactroban)

What is mupirocin?
Mupirocin (generic Bactroban) is a prescription topical antibiotic used to treat specific bacterial skin infections. It is especially effective in managing impetigo and secondary infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.

This medication is available in 2% strength and comes in multiple formulations:

• Ointment – Commonly used for impetigo and localized skin infections
• Cream – Prescribed for secondary skin infections
• Nasal ointment – Indicated for eradicating nasal carriage of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in healthcare settings

Brand names include Bactroban and Centany. Mupirocin is typically applied directly to the affected area up to three times daily for a short treatment course. Proper use as directed is essential to minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance.

How to get a mupirocin prescription online?

Obtaining a mupirocin prescription online involves a few straightforward steps:

  • Booking a virtual visit: Use a telehealth platform like Klarity Health to schedule an appointment with a licensed medical provider.
  • Medical review: During the visit, the provider will assess your symptoms, review your health history, and determine if mupirocin is appropriate for you.
  • Prescription fulfillment: If prescribed, your mupirocin prescription will be sent to your preferred pharmacy for pickup or home delivery.

How does Mupirocin compare to other medications?

When considering treatment options for bacterial skin infections, it’s important to compare the efficacy, side effect profiles, and administration routes of available medications.

NeosporinMinor cuts, scrapes, burnsModerate (allergic reactions)LowTopical ointment

ClindamycinAcne, bacterial infectionsModerate (dryness, irritation)LowTopical ointment

Mupirocin is particularly effective for treating impetigo and certain other skin infections, with a low risk of side effects. Neosporin and bacitracin are commonly used for minor skin injuries, while clindamycin is often prescribed for acne and other bacterial skin infections.
