T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g

T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g is a topical antibiotic ointment that contains mupirocin 2%, with 2% in each 15 g tube. It is used on the skin to treat certain bacterial infections, especially small areas of infected skin such as impetigo. T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g is applied directly to the affected area, where it helps clear bacteria and support healing. This product is the ointment form, so it is meant for skin use only, not for the eyes, nose, or mouth.

How it works: Mupirocin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. In the ointment form, it stays on the skin surface and delivers the medicine directly to the infected area.

T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g is the same mupirocin strength as the other T-Bact 2% ointment listed, but this 15 g tube gives you a larger amount for longer treatment or larger affected areas. The ointment base can feel greasier than a cream, so it may be preferred when extra moisture or a thicker protective layer on the skin is helpful. A doctor may choose this product when the infection is limited to the skin and the 2% ointment is the best fit for the area being treated.

• Impetigo
• Small localized skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria
• Infected cuts, scrapes, or minor wounds when prescribed
• Topical treatment of Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes skin infections

• Use only on the skin as directed by your doctor.
• Wash your hands before and after applying T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g.
• Clean and dry the affected area first, then apply a thin layer.
• 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 before you finish.

This product contains mupirocin 2%, so each tube provides a topical antibiotic ointment at the full 2% strength. How often you apply T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g depends on the infection and your prescriber’s instructions, but it is commonly used 3 times daily for up to 10 days. Do not use more often or longer than directed, because your doctor decides the right dose and duration for your situation.

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

Common side effects of Mupirocin may include:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry skin or peeling
• Pain or tenderness at the treated area
• Headache

• Use T-Bact 2% Ointment 15 g only on the skin; do not use it in the eyes, nose, or mouth unless specifically instructed.
• Tell your doctor if you have had an allergy to mupirocin or any other topical antibiotic.
• Do not use on large areas or for longer than prescribed, because overuse can increase irritation and may reduce effectiveness.
• If the treated skin becomes very irritated, blistered, or painful, stop using it and contact your clinician.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a young child.
• Do not share the tube with anyone else, even if they have similar symptoms.
• This ointment is for bacterial skin infections, not acne, fungal rashes, or viral sores.

• Other topical medicines applied to the same spot may affect absorption or increase irritation.
• Other antibiotics used on the same skin area may add irritation unless your prescriber says to combine them.
• Occlusive dressings or heavy bandaging can increase local absorption and irritation.
• Using harsh skin cleansers, alcohol-based products, or exfoliants on the treated area may worsen skin irritation.
