How T Bact 2% Ointment Works

Mupirocin → topical antibacterial → blocks bacterial protein production → stops the growth of susceptible bacteria.

Mupirocin interferes with an enzyme that bacteria need to produce essential proteins. This prevents susceptible bacteria from growing and helps to clear the bacterial infection from the treated area.

Interactions

Food Interactions

Because T Bact 2% Ointment is used topically on the skin, food is not expected to significantly affect its action. No clinically important food interaction is established for topical mupirocin.

Drug Interactions

Mupirocin ointment has no well-established clinically significant interactions with commonly used systemic medicines. However, the effect of applying mupirocin with other topical medicines to the same area has not been adequately studied. Using multiple topical products together may affect their local efficacy or increase irritation. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about other creams, ointments, medicines, vitamins, or supplements you use, and avoid applying another topical medicine to the same area unless advised.
