Mupirocin is an antibiotic agent aimed at combating infections caused by various bacteria.  Mupirocin-2 is the main active ingredient, available in the form of ointment with a concentration of 2% per total volume of the drug. The action of ointment Mupirocin, is to block the growth of bacteria, which leads to their death. The drug is often prescribed for the treatment of bacterial skin infections. It is not effective against viral or fungal infections such as herpes or candidiasis.

Mupirocin ointment 2 percent, in addition to the active antibiotic substance mupirocin, contains several auxiliary components. These components do not fight the infection directly, but they play an important role in creating the right texture of the ointment and its effectiveness.

Polyethylene glycol is the base of the ointment, which helps the active ingredient to spread evenly over the surface of the skin. It also promotes rapid penetration of mupirocin into the affected areas of the skin, accelerating the onset of its action.

Glycerin - this component is used to moisturize the skin. It helps to soften the affected areas, alleviating discomfort and reducing the likelihood of skin irritation around the infection site.

Vaseline - this is added to provide a protective layer. Vaseline creates a barrier on the skin that protects the wound from outside contaminants and helps retain moisture, which promotes healing.

Xanthan gum - This ingredient is often added to medical ointments to give them the desired viscosity and consistency, making it easier to apply the ointment to the skin.

These auxiliary components provide not only the desired texture and stability of the ointment, but also contribute to better interaction of the active ingredient with the skin, improving its antibacterial properties. It is important to remember that the composition of auxiliary components may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer of the ointment.
