Why is there no information here about what Muposten Ointment is for?

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information in line with Malaysian rules on medicine information. If you want advice on whether this product suits you, book an online consultation with a doctor or pharmacist on DoctorOnCall.

How should I use Muposten Ointment?

Follow the instructions printed on the label and in the leaflet supplied with the pack, and do not exceed the stated amount or duration. Handling steps are set out in the Directions for Use section on this page.

Can I speak to a doctor or pharmacist about Muposten Ointment before I buy it?

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

What should I do if I notice side effects after using Muposten Ointment?

Stop using the product and speak to a doctor or pharmacist about any reaction that concerns you. Seek medical care immediately for signs of a severe reaction such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or throat, or a widespread rash. Reported reactions are listed in the Side Effects section on this page.

How long will delivery take?

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day. Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.

What payment methods can I use?

Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay. FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.

Can Muposten Ointment be delivered to Singapore?

Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee. Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.

Is Muposten Ointment registered with the authorities?

Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number. An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.

Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?

DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre. For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Overview

Muposten Ointment contains Mupirocin 2% and is presented as an ointment. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Wash and gently dry the affected area before use. Apply a thin layer of Muposten Ointment directly to the infected area of skin as instructed by your doctor, usually two to three times a day, and the area may be covered with a clean gauze dressing if advised. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands themselves are being treated, and complete the full course even if the skin appears to improve after a few days, to reduce the risk of the infection recurring or bacteria becoming resistant.

Dosage

The typical regimen is a thin application of Muposten Ointment to the affected skin two to three times daily for up to 10 days, though the exact frequency, area of application, and duration will be set by the prescribing doctor based on the type and severity of the infection. Do not use more ointment or for longer than prescribed, and seek medical review if the infection has not improved within 3 to 5 days.

Shelf Life

Muposten Ointment remains stable until the expiry date printed on the tube and outer packaging when stored correctly and unopened. Once opened, it should generally be used within the period recommended on the packaging or by your pharmacist, and any leftover ointment from a previous infection should not be reused for a new one without checking with a doctor or pharmacist.

Storage Instructions

Store Muposten Ointment at or below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly capped after each use. Do not store it in the bathroom where humidity is high, and keep it out of reach and sight of children at all times.

Side Effects

Skin irritation or redness at the application site
Itching or burning sensation
Dryness or peeling of treated skin
Rash (less common)
Swelling or stinging (rare)

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to mupirocin or any ingredient in the ointment base (particularly polyethylene glycol, in patients with significant kidney impairment)
Application to the eyes or inside the nose unless a specific nasal formulation has been prescribed for that purpose
Use on large areas of broken or severely damaged skin without medical supervision
Self-diagnosis of skin infections without a doctor’s assessment, since non-bacterial conditions will not respond to mupirocin

Drug / Food Interactions

Other topical medicines applied to the same area, which may dilute or interfere with mupirocin’s local effect if not properly spaced
No clinically significant systemic drug interactions are typically expected with correctly dosed topical use, as absorption into the bloodstream is minimal
Avoid combining with other topical antibiotics on the same site unless specifically directed by your doctor
Inform your doctor of all other skin treatments, including traditional or herbal topical remedies, before starting Muposten Ointment

Quick Tips

Complete the full prescribed course even if the skin looks better after a few days
Keep the infected area clean and, if advised, covered with a fresh dressing
Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or bedding with others while the infection is active to prevent spread
Do not apply to the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose unless specifically instructed
Return to your doctor if the area worsens, spreads, or fails to improve within a few days of starting treatment

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

Mupirocin

Mupirocin 2% (active ingredient)
Polyethylene Glycol 400 (ointment base)
Polyethylene Glycol 3350 (ointment base)
Other pharmaceutical-grade ointment excipients as per manufacturer formulation

Relevant Information

Muposten Ointment is a prescription-only topical antibiotic in Malaysia, and a doctor’s assessment beforehand helps confirm the infection is genuinely bacterial and appropriate for mupirocin, rather than a fungal, viral, or non-infective skin condition that would not respond to this treatment; ongoing or recurrent infections may also need further evaluation for an underlying cause.
