Can mupirocin ointment be put into nose?

Yes, mupirocin can be put into the nose.

Mupirocin is commonly used as an ointment or cream to treat skin infections. It is not normally used in the nose. However, in some cases, a doctor may recommend using mupirocin ointment to treat a nasal infection, such as a staph infection.

If your doctor has prescribed mupirocin ointment to treat a nasal infection, it's important to follow the instructions on the prescription label and use the ointment as directed. This may include applying the ointment to the inside of your nose a certain number of times per day for a specific period of time.

Do not use mupirocin ointment in your nose without first talking to your doctor.
