Is it possible to apply Bactroban to the nose on the lips (as recommended by the doctor) when it is clearly emphasized in the leaflet that the ointment is for use on the nose only?
Hello, I've been having oozing sores on my lips for 4 weeks now. After exhausting all home remedies, the doctor prescribed me Bactroban for my nose and told me to lubricate it 3 times a day. My question is whether it is possible to use the lip ointment when it is clearly stated in the leaflet that the ointment is for use on the nose only. Thank you and best regards

There are situations when doctors recommend the use of a medicine off-label, i.e. outside the indications included in the summary of product characteristics (or leaflet). In such a case, the treatment should be carried out strictly following the doctor's instructions, and in case of any doubts - the details of the procedure should be discussed with the attending physician.
On our website you can check the availability of the medicine and make a reservation at the pharmacy:
