About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Mupricon FM Ointment is a topical medication containing a combination of Fluticasone Propionate 0.005% and Mupirocin 2%. This combination therapy is designed for the treatment of skin infections, including impetigo caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, and inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema. Fluticasone Propionate, a corticosteroid, helps reduce inflammation, while Mupirocin, an antibiotic, targets the bacterial infection. The ointment is intended for external use only, applied sparingly to the affected area up to three times daily. As with any medication, potential side effects may occur, and it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional before use. The concurrent use of Mupricon FM with other topical medications should be discussed with a healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.

About Fluticasone Propionate
Fluticasone Propionate is a corticosteroid used primarily for the prevention and treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It alleviates symptoms such as shortness of breath and wheezing by reducing inflammation in the lungs. This medication plays a crucial role in managing chronic respiratory conditions, providing long-term control of asthma and COPD symptoms, and minimizing the need for rescue inhalers. In summary, it helps improve breathing comfort for individuals with respiratory issues.
How It Works
Fluticasone Propionate works by binding to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to the transcriptional regulation of anti-inflammatory proteins and inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators, reducing airway inflammation.
All Active Ingredients
Mupirocin
Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, preventing bacterial growth.
