What is Mupitoz Cream
Mupitoz Cream is a topical antibiotic used to treat Impetigo (superficial skin infection), boils and other infected skin lesions. It contains Mupirocin 4% (w/w), which is a Topical Bacterial Protein Synthesis Inhibitor. Bioderma Solutions manufactures this cream in 10 g tubes at its GMP-certified facilities.
Mupirocin works by blocking a bacterial enzyme called isoleucyl-transfer RNA synthetase. In simple terms, it stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to survive and multiply. This helps clear infections caused mainly by Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species.
Mupitoz 4% Cream should be applied only to the affected skin 3 times daily, or as advised by a dermatologist. If a dose is missed, apply it when you remember, unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not apply extra cream to make up for it. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or nostrils. If it does happen, rinse well with water.
You may feel mild burning, stinging, itching, pain, or irritation after application. These side effects are usually temporary. Seek medical advice if irritation becomes troublesome, if rash or swelling appears, or if the skin infection doesn’t improve within 3-5 days.
Do not use Mupitoz Cream if you are allergic to Mupirocin or other topical antibiotics. Use with caution on damaged skin, open wounds or chronic skin conditions due to the risk of increased absorption. It should not be used for fungal infections or viral lesions or continued beyond the prescribed period.
Store the cream below 25°C in a cool, dark place. Keep it away from heat and moisture.
What are the benefits of taking Mupitoz Cream
Mupitoz Cream offers local antibacterial treatment for superficial bacterial infections. Its main benefits and uses include:
- Skin infection treatment: It helps treat skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including Impetigo, boils, and infected follicles.
- Useful for minor infected lesions: It can help with infected cuts or superficial wounds when prescribed for bacterial contamination.
- Relief from skin symptoms: As the bacteria clear, redness, crusting, tenderness, and local discharge begin to improve.
- Localized infection control: This Mupirocin topical antibiotic cream acts directly on the affected skin rather than circulating widely throughout the body.
How to use Mupitoz Cream
Mupitoz 4% Cream should be used in the dose and duration advised by a dermatologist. General usage guidelines are as follows:
- Wash your hands before and after use.
- Wash and pat dry the infected area before applying the cream.
- Spread a small amount of Mupitoz Cream evenly over the affected skin.
- Apply it 3 times a day, or as prescribed.
- Cover with a bandage, only if advised.

Safety Advice
Liver Disease
Mupitoz topical cream works mainly at the site of application and has minimal systemic absorption. Dose adjustment is generally not needed in patients with liver disease.
Kidney Impairment
Because systemic absorption of topical Mupirocin is low, major kidney-related dose changes are not needed. However, prolonged use over large skin areas should be discussed with a doctor, especially in later stages of Chronic Kidney Failure.
Pregnant and Breastfeeding women
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use Mupitoz antibiotic cream only when prescribed. Since available human data are limited, medical supervision is advised before regular use.
Avoid
Avoid using Mupitoz Cream if you have a known allergy to Mupirocin or any component of the cream. Never use it in the eyes, nose, or mouth or for fungal infections or viral skin lesions. Do not use it for longer than advised, or combine it with other topical products, to prevent adverse effects and bacterial resistance.
FAQs
Can I use Mupitoz Cream on open wounds or burns?
No, you should not use Mupitoz Cream on open wounds or burns unless a dermatologist advises it. It is intended for superficial bacterial skin infections only and may not be suitable for deeper damaged skin.
Can Mupitoz Cream be used for Acne or pimples?
No, Mupitoz Cream should not be used for Acne or pimples unless a dermatologist confirms a bacterial skin infection. Acne usually needs a different treatment approach with Benzoyl Peroxide or Clindamycin.
How long should Mupirocin topical antibiotic treatment be continued?
Mupirocin topical antibiotic treatment is generally continued for up to 10 days or as directed by a doctor. Even if the skin looks better sooner, the full recommended course should be completed to reduce the risk of infection recurrence.
What should I do if irritation occurs after applying Mupitoz Cream?
If irritation occurs after applying Mupitoz Cream, it is usually mild and short-lasting. However, if the burning, stinging, irritation or redness continues or becomes worse, stop using the cream and contact your healthcare provider.
Is it safe to use Mupitoz 4% Cream on children?
Yes, topical Mupirocin, like Mupitoz cream, can be used in children 3 months of age and older when a dermatologist recommends it. However, infants under 3 months of age require medical supervision before, during and after treatment.
What happens if you apply too much Mupirocin?
Applying too much Mupirocin increases the chance of local skin irritation rather than improving the infection faster. If you accidentally apply too much, wash away the extra cream. Consult a doctor if severe irritation or dryness develops.
Can Mupitoz Cream cause antibiotic resistance?
Yes, using Mupitoz Cream too often, for too long, or for the wrong condition can lead to bacterial resistance. That is why topical Mupirocin should be used only for bacterial infections as prescribed.
Who should avoid using Mupitoz 4% Cream?
People who are allergic to Mupirocin or any component of the cream should avoid using it. Caution is also advised in children and pregnant or breastfeeding women. Mupitoz 4% Cream should not be used on fungal rashes, viral lesions, major burns, or private areas.
