Introduction

Bactrocare inhibits protein synthesis of the bacteria by binding to isoleucyl transfer ribonucleic acid (RNA)-synthetase. It has bacteriostatic properties at Min inhibitory concentrations and bactericidal properties at the higher concentrations.

Precaution

Bactrocare is not suitable for ophthalmic or intra-nasal use. When Bactrocare ointment is used on the face, care should be taken to avoid the eyes. In common with other polyethylene-based ointments, this drug should be used with caution if there is evidence of moderate or severe renal impairment. As with other antibacterial products, prolonged use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fung.

Interaction

Chloramphenicol may interfere with the antibacterial action of mupirocin in RNA synthesis.

Pregnancy Lactation use

Use in Pregnancy: Because animal studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.

Use in lactation: It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Bactrocare ointment is administered to a nursing woman.

Contraindication

This drug is contraindicated in individuals with a history of sensitivity reactions to Bactrocare or any of the components of the preparation.

Special Warning

Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Bactrocare ointment have been established in the age range of 2 months to 16 years. Use of the ointment in these age groups is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of Bactrocare in impetigo in pediatric patients.
