T-bact is a nasal ointment that fights bacteria. It's made with 2% w/w of mupirocin, a powerful antibiotic that does most of the heavy lifting in this treatment.
This ointment is mainly used to tackle staph infections in the nose. Studies have shown that mupirocin, the key antibiotic in Bactroban, is effective in treating skin issues and speeding up the healing process for skin wounds.
T-bact is an antibiotic ointment containing the active ingredient mupirocin, which is effective against certain types of bacteria, including staphylococcus aureus (staph). When applied to the nasal passages, T-bact works by directly targeting and killing the staph bacteria that are causing the infection. The mupirocin in T-bact interferes with the bacteria's ability to produce essential proteins needed for their growth and reproduction.
As a result, the bacteria are unable to multiply and spread, allowing the body's immune system to effectively clear the infection.
T-bact comes in a tiny 5 gram tube. For most people it takes around five to seven days for their nasal passages to clear after they start using T-bact. If a single dosage of T-bact does not work, we recommend contacting our doctor to explore other treatment options.

Before using T-bact ointment, there are a couple of important points to keep in mind. This ointment is specifically designed to be applied only to the nasal passages.
Additionally, there isn't enough information available about how T-bact interacts with the active ingredients in other medications.
Before using T-bact, thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water. Clear any mucus by gently blowing your nose. Using your fingertip, take a small amount of the ointment. Apply the ointment inside your nostrils, covering the affected areas. Wash your hands again to avoid spreading bacteria.
In general, mild staph infections may clear up within a few days to a week after you start using T-bact ointment, while more severe or deep-seated infections may take longer to resolve and could require several weeks of treatment.
Always stick to the instructions given by our clinician when using T-bact. Missing doses can give bacteria a chance to bounce back, making the medicine less effective. It's common to forget to apply the ointment, especially if you start feeling better quickly after starting treatment. If you miss a dose or forget when you last applied it, don't double up on the dose. Just apply it as soon as you remember. If it's close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule.
Avoid making mistakes like taking too much or swallowing the ointment. If you accidentally take an extra dose or swallow some of the ointment and feel uncomfortable, seek medical help right away.
