About MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN
MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin. A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungi.

Uses of MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN
Medicinal Benefits
MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN is a combination of two drugs: Mupirocin and Bromelain. Mupirocin is an antibiotic that inhibits the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply. Bromelain is a proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzyme with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. It reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation by stimulating a healthy immune system to release inflammation-fighting chemicals. It also removes dead skin and promotes healing. Together, MUPIROCIN+BROMELAIN effectively treats skin infections.
