How it works
Flutibact Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Fluticasone Propionate and Mupirocin. Fluticasone Propionate is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Mupirocin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane.
