Enzomac Ointment

Enzomac Ointment is a topical antibiotic ointment containing mupirocin in each tube, supplied by Macleods Pharmaceuticals, India. It is used on the skin to treat certain bacterial infections, including localized impetigo and infected minor cuts, abrasions, or other small skin wounds when bacteria are suspected. As an antibiotic ointment, Enzomac Ointment works directly at the site of infection rather than treating infections throughout the body.

How it works: Mupirocin blocks bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and spread, which helps clear the infection. Because Enzomac Ointment is applied directly to the skin, it concentrates the medicine where the bacteria are causing problems and can be washed off from the rest of the body later.

This is the as-labeled Enzomac Ointment strength in ointment form, so it is meant for people who need a skin-applied mupirocin product that stays on the affected area and forms a protective layer. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Enzomac sold here, the main difference is its ointment base, which can feel greasier than a cream but may stay in place better on dry, cracked, or crusted skin.

• Impetigo
• Localized bacterial skin infection
• Infected minor cuts or abrasions
• Small superficial wounds with bacteria
• Doctor-directed topical treatment for susceptible skin bacteria

• Clean and dry the affected skin before applying Enzomac Ointment.
• Apply a small amount to the infected area only, as directed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after use, unless you are treating your hands.
• Do not cover the area with a tight bandage unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Avoid getting the ointment in your eyes, nose, mouth, or inside the vagina.
• Use it for the full prescribed course even if the skin looks better sooner.

Enzomac Ointment provides mupirocin as labeled in each tube, and the exact amount to use depends on the size and location of the infected area. For topical mupirocin ointment, it is typically applied 2 to 3 times daily, but your doctor may choose a different schedule based on the infection. Do not use more often or for longer than prescribed, because your clinician decides the dose and duration for this specific product.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Mupirocin may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Dryness or redness of the skin
• Pain or irritation at the treated area
• Temporary rash at the site
• Ointment greasiness or residue on skin, which can be more noticeable with an ointment form

• Use only on the skin and not in the eyes, nose, or mouth.
• Do not apply to large body areas or deep wounds unless your doctor specifically instructs you to.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of skin allergy to mupirocin or similar medicines.
• Stop and seek care if the area becomes more irritated, very red, or starts to blister.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, follow your prescriber’s guidance carefully.
• Do not share Enzomac Ointment with others, even if their skin looks similar.
• Use exactly for the prescribed duration to help reduce the risk of resistance.

• Other topical antibiotics applied to the same area
• Other skin products that may irritate the area, such as harsh antiseptics or alcohol-based products
• Large amounts of topical steroids on the same site unless directed by a clinician
• Occlusive dressings that may increase absorption or irritation if not specifically recommended

Store Enzomac Ointment tightly closed at room temperature, away from heat and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children.
