Can babies use mupirocin ointment?

Mupirocin Ointment can be used in infants with indications under physician’s supervision and parental guardianship, with attention to contraindications and adverse drug reactions. Mupirocin ointment is indicated for the treatment of primary skin infections such as boils, folliculitis, and impetigo, as well as secondary skin infections such as co-infections of eczema and co-infections of superficial trauma, both of which are caused by gram-positive cocci. Contraindications include hypersensitivity to mupirocin or other polyethylene glycol-containing ointments, use with caution in people with moderate or severe renal impairment, pregnant women, lactating women, while infants are not contraindicated, and those with indications can use the drug under parental supervision. Some people may occasionally experience adverse reactions such as local burning sensation, stinging and itching, which generally do not require discontinuation of the drug; occasionally there may be allergic to mupirocin or its ointment base, resulting in rash, swelling and other adverse reactions. Specific medication should be used under the guidance of a specialist, and should not be used without authorization.
