Mupirocin for Sinus and Nasal Care
Targeted Antibiotic for Staphylococcal Infections
Mupirocin is a topical antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections in the nasal passages, particularly those caused by Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA). At King’s Pharmacy, we compound Mupirocin into nasal formulations to provide targeted relief for sinus and nasal infections.
