Sucral MU Ointment 5 gm belongs to the class of 'Protectants and Antimicrobial agents' primarily used to treat burns, wound infections and bacterial skin infections such as impetigo. A burn damages the skin or deeper tissues caused by hot liquids, fire, electricity and chemicals. The degree of severity of burns is based on the size and depth of the burn. A skin infection can occur when the skin is broken, cut, or wounded. Impetigo is a highly communicable bacterial skin infection that causes red sores on the face.

Sucral MU Ointment 5 gm is a combination of two medicines, namely, Sucralfate and Mupirocin. Sucralfate is a protective agent with anti-inflammatory properties that forms a coating over the affected skin surface. This creates a cytoprotective effect and forms a viscous, adhesive barrier on the surface of the infected skin. It stimulates the synthesis and release of prostaglandins and the epidermal growth factor, which stimulates healing. On the other hand, Mupirocin works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Thereby, Sucral MU Ointment 5 gm kills bacteria and clears the infection, and reduces inflammation symptoms (burning sensation, irritation, swelling, and pain).

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 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.
