How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Mupirocin 5%/Vancomycin 5% Topical Gel is a potent compounded formulation designed to combat bacterial skin infections. This dual-antibiotic medication combines the power of mupirocin and vancomycin, two antibiotics that work synergistically to eliminate the bacteria causing the infection.

Mupirocin operates by inhibiting the bacteria's ability to produce proteins, a crucial process for their survival and proliferation. On the other hand, vancomycin disrupts the formation of bacterial cell walls, another vital component for their survival and growth. The combined action of these two antibiotics effectively eradicates the bacteria causing the infection.

This topical gel is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, folliculitis, and furunculosis. It is designed for direct application to the affected skin area, typically two to three times daily. Adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen is crucial, even if symptoms appear to improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection.

While Mupirocin 5%/Vancomycin 5% Topical Gel is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects such as skin irritation, redness, itching, or burning. In the event of these side effects, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for advice and possible adjustments to the treatment plan.

For any queries or concerns regarding Mupirocin 5%/Vancomycin 5% Topical Gel, or its mechanism of action, please feel free to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is committed to providing you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure effective treatment of your skin infection.
