Teriaswab Cream is indicated for the topical treatment of secondarily infected traumatic lesions such as small lacerations, sutured wounds or abrasions (up to 10 cm in length or 100 cm2 in area), due to susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.
Each gram of cream contains: 21.5 mg Mupirocin calcium equivalent to 20.0 mg mupirocin.
Dosage: Adults/children ≥ 1 year/elderly: Three times a day for up to 10 days, depending on the response. Patients not showing a clinical response within 3 to 5 days should be re-evaluated. The duration of treatment should not exceed 10 days.
Method of administration:
A thin layer of cream should be applied to the affected area with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. The treated area may be covered by a dressing. Do not mix with other preparations, as there is a risk of dilution, resulting in a reduction in the antibacterial activity and potential loss of stability of the mupirocin in the cream.
