Overview

Supirocin 2% 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

Clean and dry the affected area before use, then apply a small amount of Supirocin 2% Ointment to the affected skin, usually covering it lightly with a gauze dressing if advised by your doctor. Wash your hands before and after application unless the hands themselves are being treated, and use the ointment for the full course prescribed, even if the skin appears to have healed.

Dosage

The usual dose is a thin layer applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily for 5 to 10 days, or as directed by your doctor, depending on the severity and location of the infection. Do not use for longer than prescribed, and see your doctor if there is no improvement within 3 to 5 days of starting treatment.

Shelf Life

Supirocin 2% Ointment should be used within the shelf life printed on the packaging when stored correctly and unopened; check the expiry date before use and discard any unused ointment after the course of treatment or once expired.

Storage Instructions

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Keep out of reach and sight of children.

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 polyethylene glycol (a component of the ointment base)
  • Not for use in the eyes, nose, or on mucous membranes unless specifically directed by a doctor
  • Caution with extensive use on open wounds or in patients with significant kidney impairment, due to the polyethylene glycol base
  • Not intended for viral or fungal skin infections

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Minimal systemic drug interactions are expected because absorption through intact or minor broken skin is limited
  • Avoid applying other topical creams or ointments to the same area at the same time without medical advice
  • Inform your doctor if you are using other topical treatments for the same skin area

Quick Tips

  • Complete the full course of treatment even if the skin looks better after a few days
  • Keep the affected area clean and covered if advised, to prevent spreading the infection
  • Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or bedding while the infection is active, especially with impetigo
  • Do not use Supirocin for longer than prescribed to help reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance
  • See a doctor if the infection spreads, worsens, or does not improve within a few days

Supirocin 2% Ointment is intended for short courses of treatment for confirmed or clinically likely bacterial skin infections, and is not meant for long-term or repeated use without medical supervision, as overuse can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
