Frequently Asked Questions

Icon

What are skin infections?
Skin infections occur when bacteria, fungi, or viruses invade through breaks in the skin’s surface, overwhelming its natural defenses. This triggers inflammation, leading to symptoms like redness, swelling, pus, or painful rashes.

Examples: athlete’s foot (fungal), impetigo (bacterial), herpes sores (viral).

Mupirocin is a prescription antibiotic ointment used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo or infected minor cuts, wounds, and abrasions. It works by targeting and eliminating the bacteria causing the infection, promoting faster healing.
Mupirocin should be applied in a thin layer to the affected area of the skin as prescribed by your doctor. Be sure to follow the exact directions on your prescription, including how many times per day to apply and for how many days to use the medication.
Yes, mupirocin is often prescribed for infected wounds, but it should only be used as directed by your physician. Avoid using it on large or deep wounds unless advised by a healthcare professional.
If you miss a dose, apply the ointment as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra to make up for a missed dose.
Mupirocin is generally well-tolerated, but some people may experience mild side effects like itching, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. Serious side effects are rare but may include signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling or difficulty breathing. Contact your physician if you experience any severe or concerning symptoms.
You should avoid using mupirocin alongside other topical creams, ointments, or lotions on the same area of skin unless instructed by your physician. Combining products could interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.
Most people see improvement in their symptoms within a few days of starting mupirocin. However, it’s essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if the infection appears to clear up sooner.
Yes, mupirocin is a prescription medication. You will need to consult with a licensed physician to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your condition.

Alongside a team of board-certified physicians, Runway has crafted an online questionnaire based consultation that replicates those questions you may typically be asked at a brick-and-mortar travel clinic.  You may initiate this online consultation 24/7 without the need to schedule a live visit.  Upon reviewing your consultation, your physician may reach out to you via our secure, HIPAA compliant chat portal if they require any additional information. Similarly, should you have any additional questions for your physician, you may contact them for chat based care before, during or after your travels.

Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with details to track your shipment.

Orders are shipped every day except for Sunday and are typically processed within 1 business day after your order has been approved by your physician.
