Both Bactroban Ointment 5 g and T Bact Ointment 5 g contain the same antibiotic, Mupirocin, in the same strength and are generally interchangeable. If your doctor prescribed Mupirocin and did not specify that only a particular brand must be used, you can use T Bact instead. It is also advisable to confirm with your pharmacist that the concentration is the same.
