T-Bact Ointment

Product Overview

T-Bact Ointment is a topical medication containing the active ingredient Mupirocin (2% w/w). It is a prescription antibiotic ointment used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections. T-Bact works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins, thereby preventing the growth and reproduction of bacteria on the skin’s surface. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as impetigo, folliculitis, and minor skin wounds.

Uses

T-Bact Ointment is indicated for the treatment of bacterial skin infections caused by susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria commonly found on the skin. T-Bact helps to relieve symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and pus formation associated with bacterial infections.

How to Use

Before applying T-Bact Ointment, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of the ointment to the affected skin 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently rub the ointment into the skin until it is absorbed. Wash your hands before and after applying the medication to prevent the spread of infection.

How it Works

T-Bact Ointment contains Mupirocin, which is a bactericidal antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Mupirocin specifically targets and binds to bacterial isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase, an enzyme involved in the production of bacterial proteins. By disrupting protein synthesis, T-Bact prevents the growth and multiplication of bacteria, leading to the eradication of the infection.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of T-Bact Ointment depends on the severity and type of infection being treated. It is typically applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily for up to 10 days. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of T-Bact Ointment may include burning, stinging, itching, or rash at the site of application. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own as the skin adjusts to the medication. If irritation persists or worsens, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

Warnings

T-Bact Ointment is for external use only and should not be used in the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. Avoid applying the ointment to open wounds or burns. If skin irritation or sensitization occurs, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
