Apply Bactroban as directed; avoid contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
Burning or stinging sensations are common, usually mild and temporary. These typically subside within a few days. Persistent or severe burning warrants contacting your physician.
Skin reactions such as redness, itching, or swelling are possible. These are usually mild. However, report any significant or spreading skin reactions immediately to a healthcare provider. They can determine if it’s a true allergic reaction.
Rarely, Bactroban may cause more serious skin reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as widespread rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Bactroban is for external use only; avoid ingestion. Keep out of reach of children.
Always follow the instructions on your Bactroban label. If you have any questions or concerns about using Bactroban, speak with your pharmacist or doctor.
