Mupirocin Drug Study

This document provides information about the antibiotic mupirocin, including its indications, mechanism of action, contraindications, adverse reactions, and nursing considerations. Mupirocin is indicated for grade 1 sacral ulcers and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It is contraindicated in patients with fungal or bacterial superinfections, cutaneous sensitization reactions, or severe local irritation. Adverse reactions include application site reactions, irritation, soreness, and skin issues like pruritus and erythema. Nurses should assess for allergies and signs of superinfection, and instruct patients to report sensitivity reactions.
