Moto Seal Ointment

Moto Seal Ointment is a mupirocin antibiotic ointment used on the skin to treat certain bacterial infections. Each tube contains mupirocin as labelled, in an ointment base supplied by Intra Life, and the pack contains a strip/box of 10 tubes. It belongs to the topical antibiotics class and is commonly used for minor skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including impetigo and infected small cuts or wounds when a clinician recommends it.

How it works: Mupirocin works by stopping bacteria from making an essential protein they need to grow and multiply. In Moto Seal Ointment, the ointment base helps keep the medicine on the affected skin so it can act directly where the infection is located.

Moto Seal Ointment is the exact as-labelled ointment strength, so it is meant for local skin use rather than oral use or injection. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the main difference is the ointment delivery: it stays on the skin surface and can be easier to apply to localized infected areas where a doctor wants focused treatment.

• Impetigo
• Localized infected cuts or scrapes
• Small bacterial skin infections
• Infected eczema or dermatitis only when prescribed
• Topical treatment of susceptible Staphylococcus and Streptococcus skin infections

• Use Moto Seal Ointment only on the skin; do not take it by mouth.
• Wash your hands before and after applying it unless you are treating your hands.
• Clean and dry the affected area first, then apply a thin layer as directed by your doctor.
• Cover the area with gauze or a bandage only if your clinician tells you to.
• Use it for the full prescribed course, even if the skin looks better sooner.
• Avoid getting the ointment in the eyes, nose, mouth, or inside the body unless specifically instructed.

Moto Seal Ointment provides mupirocin as labelled in each tube, and the exact amount to apply depends on the size and location of the infected skin area. Most patients use it a few times daily, but the doctor decides the frequency, total amount, and duration based on the infection and response; do not exceed the prescribed daily use.

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
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dryness or peeling of the treated area
• Headache
• Unpleasant skin sensation or tenderness at the site

• Use only on the skin; Moto Seal Ointment is not for eyes, nose, mouth, or vaginal use unless a doctor specifically directs it.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to mupirocin or any ointment ingredients.
• Do not use it for long periods unless instructed, because prolonged topical antibiotic use can encourage resistance.
• If the infected area is large, deep, or not improving, medical review is important rather than simply increasing the amount used.
• Avoid sharing the tube with other people to reduce spread of infection.
• Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child, since the plan should be individualized.
• If significant irritation develops, stop using it and contact a healthcare professional for advice.

• Other topical skin products applied to the same area may reduce contact or increase irritation.
• Strong antiseptics or harsh cleansers on the same site can worsen dryness or irritation.
• Other topical antibiotics used at the same time may not be necessary and should be checked by a clinician.
• Using corticosteroid creams on the same area without guidance may mask infection symptoms.
• Always tell your prescriber about prescription, OTC, and herbal skin products you are using.

Store Moto Seal Ointment at room temperature in the original tube, tightly closed, and keep it away from excess heat and moisture.
