What is Mupirocin Calcium?

Turixin (Mupirocin Calcium) is a topical antibiotic nasal ointment used to treat nasal infections caused by bacteria. It helps reduce the risk of spreading certain infections in healthcare settings. This product is for nasal use only and should be stored properly.

What is Mupirocin Calcium used for?

Mupirocin Calcium, the active ingredient in Turixin, is used to eliminate bacteria in the nose that may cause infections. It is commonly prescribed to reduce the presence of staph bacteria, including MRSA, in nasal passages. This helps prevent the spread of infection in hospitals and other care environments.
