Instruction and analogue of "Bactroban". Choice of medicines

Antibacterial drugs are the basis for the treatment of all infectious processes. They are used for both therapy and prevention, for example, after surgical manipulation to prevent infection. Before using them, you should read the list of contraindications and side effects. What preparations are included in this group?

Medications

The intake of antibiotics requires compliance with a set of rules that guarantee effective treatment. First of all, it is necessary to follow the multiplicity of the application - there must be a certain interval between the methods. This will allow the body to receive the necessary dosage regularly. Also, antibiotics should not be treated independently. There is a risk of choosing the wrong drug, which will not give the desired effect, as well as an incorrect choice of dosage.

As a result, antibiotics will enter the body, but will not give any result. On the contrary, the body will become accustomed to them, which will make further treatment more difficult. This increases the risk of complications and an unfavorable outcome of the disease. Therapy of infections in pregnant women requires special attention. A number of drugs of this group are contraindicated for them, and treatment is possible only if there are strict indications. During the lactation period, you should stop using this type of medication.

The "Bactroban" ointment enjoys great popularity (the price is higher than that of analogues). Its active substance is mupirocin, which is classified as a group of antibiotics. Due to this drug has a pronounced bactericidal activity, that is, it contributes to the death of bacterial cells, suppressing their pathogenic effect. This effect is achieved by suppressing the enzyme isoleucine-transfer-RNA synthetase, resulting in the termination of protein synthesis in microorganism cells. Such an unusual mechanism for the preparation does not exclude the combination with other antibiotics - they will not exert undesirable influence on each other. The ointment is active against a wide range of bacteria, which makes it universal. Any analogue of "Bactroban" has a similar antibacterial effect.

Indications

Antibacterial activity allows the use of ointment in many diseases, as well as for prevention. Among the indications for use:

• Staphylococcal carriage;
• Skin infections (folliculitis, impetigo, boils);

Contraindications
