Mujes Cream is a topical antibiotic used to treat localized bacterial skin infections such as Impetigo, Folliculitis, secondary infected Eczema and Dermatitis, infected wounds, and other superficial skin infections. It is manufactured by Jes Pharmacia Private Limited in GMP-compliant facilities.
Mujes Cream contains FDA-approved Mupirocin 2% as its active ingredient. Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, which is essential for protein production. This prevents bacterial growth and replication, helping clear the infection.
Mupirocin topical antibiotic cream should be applied as a thin layer to the infected region 2-3 times daily for 5 to 7 days, or as prescribed. The skin should be gently cleaned and dried before application. A sterile dressing may be used if advised.
Side effects of this cream are usually mild and limited to the application site, including burning, stinging, itching, or temporary redness. These effects typically resolve without treatment. Prolonged or repeated use should be avoided unless directed by a doctor, as it can promote bacterial resistance or overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi.
Store the cream below 25°C in a cool, dry area, away from sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
Mujes Cream works by blocking the protein-building process that bacteria depend on to survive and multiply, clearing the infection and allowing the damaged skin to heal. This targeted topical antibacterial action, which remains effective even against some antibiotic-resistant strains, makes it effective in treating:
Mujes Cream is a prescription medication that should be used as directed by a healthcare professional. Here are the general guidelines:

Mujes Cream can cause some mild side effects at the application site that generally resolve on their own. However, consult a healthcare professional if they persist or worsen:
Liver Disease
Mujes Cream is applied directly to the skin and, under normal use, has very limited absorption into the bloodstream, so liver disease does not typically affect its safety or effectiveness. However, inform a doctor of any liver conditions before use.
Kidney Impairment
As a topical preparation, Mujes antibiotic cream is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream during typical use and does not strain the kidneys. However, caution is still required in severe kidney disease as absorption through open wounds can increase accumulation. Always inform a doctor of any kidney conditions before use.
Pregnant and Breastfeeding women
This topical antibiotic can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical supervision. Given the very limited systemic absorption associated with topical Mupirocin, the risk to the developing baby or nursing infant is considered low. During breastfeeding, avoid applying the cream to the nipple area or anywhere the infant may come into direct contact with it to prevent accidental ingestion. However, always inform a doctor before use.
Avoid
Do not use Mujes Cream in patients with known hypersensitivity to Mupirocin or any of its ingredients. Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with clean water immediately if accidental contact occurs. Do not use it for prolonged periods or over large areas of broken skin without medical supervision, as this can increase systemic absorption and the likelihood of resistance developing.
No, it is an antibacterial cream and has no effect on fungal infections. Mupirocin acts specifically against bacteria and is inactive against fungi such as Candida or Dermatophytes. If a skin condition is suspected to be fungal, and symptoms include ring-shaped redness, consult a doctor for appropriate antifungal medication.
Mujes Cream is generally well tolerated on sensitive skin when used as directed. Mild, temporary stinging or itching at the application site can occur and usually resolves quickly without additional treatment. If significant redness, swelling, or persistent discomfort develops after application, stop using the cream and consult a doctor.
With regular twice to three times daily application, most bacterial skin infections begin to show visible improvement within 3-5 days. However, the full prescribed course is usually 5-7 days and should always be completed even if the skin looks better earlier, as stopping too soon can cause the infection to return.
Yes, this cream can be applied to minor superficial infected cuts and abrasions as directed by a doctor. However, it should not be used on deep wounds, puncture injuries, severe burns, or large areas of significantly broken skin without proper medical evaluation.
Mild irritation or temporary redness at the application site is common at the start of treatment and typically settles quickly on its own. If the redness is severe, spreads beyond the treated area, or is accompanied by swelling and blistering, discontinue the cream immediately and consult a doctor.
Yes, this cream is an antibiotic, and improper or excessive use can cause resistance. It should not be used to prevent infections, but only to treat confirmed bacterial infections. Using it as and when prescribed helps avoid antibiotic resistance.
Mujes Cream should be stored between 20°C-25°C in a cool, dry area away from sunlight and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed after each use and out of reach of children at all times. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging, and do not freeze the cream.
