Bactroban, which contains mupirocin, is an ointment intended for use only in the nasal cavity and not on the skin. The leaflet of the drug clearly states that the nasal ointment should not be used on the skin, which is in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and medical standards. The availability of Bactroban ointment in pharmacies in Polish can be checked at the following address:

Despite this, your doctor may recommend the use of a nasal ointment on the skin for specific indications, which may be due to his clinical judgment. We wrote more about it here:

It is important to follow your doctor's instructions, but also to be aware that use that is not in accordance with the leaflet may be associated with the risk of side effects or lack of effectiveness.
