Bactroban Nasal Ointment (mupirocin) is an antibacterial medication which is usually used in treating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in patients who are in a healthcare setting. Healthcare workers may also buy Bactroban Nasal Ointment in some scenarios, such as outbreaks, to prevent spreading the infection to patients.

Though it's generally reserved for patients 12 years old and up, parents do sometimes buy Bactroban Nasal Ointment for younger children, even infants. Treatment is usually the same in all ages, but to be on the safe side a doctor should be consulted before administering the medication to younger patients.

It's also beneficial to have the bacteria identified prior to using Bactroban Nasal Ointment, to ensure the bacteria is susceptible to it.

Bactroban is also available as a general ointment for use elsewhere on the body, which can be found here.

Bactroban Basics

While mupirocin---the active ingredient in this product---is effective against a range of bacteria, Bactroban Nasal Ointment is usually reserved for combating MRSA. Many individuals carry MRSA bacteria, particularly in the nostrils, but the bacteria are harmless until the patient is weakened---through illness or injury, other medications, and so forth---at which time the bacteria can cause a very unpleasant, and often aggressive, infection.

Symptoms of an active MRSA infection might be difficult to detect at first, including pimples on the face (particularly around the nose), boils, and abscesses. Untreated the infection will likely spread, leading to pain, fever, blistering, and so on, up to blood poisoning, pneumonia, and even death.

Mupirocin works by causing bacteria to produce abnormal proteins needed for survival; unable to utilize these faulty proteins, the bacteria die. Patients who buy Bactroban Nasal Ointment will see improvement within days of starting use, often after the first application.

Applying Bactroban Nasal Ointment

The ointment comes in a variety of sizes; some as a single-use tube (1 gram) and others containing more medication. If using greater than single-dose tubes, as a general rule a match-head size amount of medication should be used for each nostril. Treatment is repeated twice per day:

• Squeeze a match-head size amount of ointment onto a finger or cotton swab.
• Carefully deposit it into one nostril.
• Repeat with the other nostril, using another match-head size amount.
• Gently press together and release the sides of the nose for about one minute to spread the ointment through the nostrils.
• Repeat treatment twice per day.

Wash hands after applying the medication, to avoid spread of bacteria and to prevent Bactroban Nasal Ointment from inadvertently getting in the eyes or other sensitive areas. It should be washed off immediately if it does contact unintended areas.

Treatment typically continues for five days, though it may last up to seven days. Two days after treatment ends a nasal swab should be taken and tested for the bacteria; if still present, treatment may be repeated. Other nasal treatments should not be administered at the same time as Bactroban Nasal Ointment.

MRSA is already resistant to methicillin, amoxicillin, penicillin, oxacillin, and other antibacterials. To help ensure it does not become resistant to mupirocin treatment should last at least five days but no more than seven. Additionally, treatment should not be repeated more than one time, for a total of two rounds of treatment.
