Medicinal Benefits:
Sucral MU Ointment 5 gm is a combination of two medicines, namely; 'Sucralfate and Mupirocin' used to treat burns and wound infections. It is also used to treat impetigo (skin infection). Besides this, it is also used as an antiseptic in minor cuts and abrasions. Sucralfate is a protectant with anti-inflammatory properties which forms a coating over the affected skin surface. This creates a physical barrier that protects the skin from further injury and stimulates the synthesis and release of prostaglandins and the epidermal growth factor which stimulates healing. Mupirocin is a topical broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent and has bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeasts, which contaminate skin and mucosa. It kills the bacteria that cause skin infections by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins and RNA synthesis necessary for the survival of bacteria. Collectively, Sucral MU Ointment 5 gm prevents the skin infection from spreading, and reduces inflammation symptoms (burning sensation, irritation swelling, and pain). This promotes the healing of burns and wounds.
