Robi, are you writing in response to another post? I was curious what the need was here for the Bactroban nasal, which my ENT doc had rx'd for me a few years ago for a severe localized nose infection not associated with a cold. This was a weird and extremely uncomfortable infection - it hurt, itched and tingled all up the nose into the back area between the nose and the throat. The Bactroban nasal worked extremely well. I read where it is common to use this in nursing homes and places where flu-like infections are present. Each little 1-use 1 gram tube contained mupirocin calcium 2% whatever that is. Made by Smithkline Beecham. Don't know what regular Bactroban is, but you can look it up. I had always been advised by this ENT to put a little Bacitracin or Neosporin ointment in my nose when I had a sinus infection or cold, and also when using public transportation to combat dryness and germs, so wondered what your use is.
