Supiroban cream is an antibiotic medicine used for the topical treatment of bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo (red sores), folliculitis (infected hair follicles), furunculosis (boils), ecthyma, and infected traumatic lesions like abrasions, insect bites, minor wounds, and burns[5][7][8].
In addition to treating existing infections, Supiroban can also be used to prevent bacterial contamination and infection in small wounds, incisions, and other clean skin lesions[8].
How to use:
- Supiroban is meant for external use only and should be applied only to the affected skin area according to your doctor’s prescription[5].
- Avoid application to the eyes, nose, or mouth; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water[5].
- Apply regularly at the prescribed interval, and do not use for longer than recommended duration[5].
Common side effects:
- Application site reactions including a burning sensation, irritation, rash, stinging, pain, itching, dryness, and redness[5][7].
- These are generally temporary but consult your doctor if they persist or worsen[5].
Warnings and precautions:
- Inform your doctor about any allergies or prior reactions to medications[5].
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only if prescribed by a healthcare provider[5].
