Mupirocin is a prescription medication and is not available over the counter in most countries, including the United States. It is used to treat bacterial skin infections, and you will need a prescription from a healthcare provider to obtain it. However, there are some over-the-counter antibiotic ointments available that may be suitable for minor cuts and scrapes. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options.

Does mupirocin work on pseudomonas infections?

No, Mupirocin(aka Bactroban) is actually made from a species of pseudomonas, so the short-non-chemistry answer is that it's not sensitive to it's antimicrobial effect. It's better used for GRAM POSITIVE bacteria such as Staph or Strep species. Initially..you are better off trying over the counter "triple" treatment which contains agents polymyxin B and an aminoglycoside (Neomycin), both of which are 'normally' effective against pseudomonas. If you've already tried that, go see a physician.
