Stop using retapamulin if you notice worsening of the infection or develop increased redness, irritation or other signs and symptoms.
Retapamulin is used only against bacterial infection. Do not apply for viral infections.
Consult your doctor immediately if there is no improvement in your infection after two to three days of treatment.
Do not apply other ointments, creams or lotions to the area being treated with retapamulin unless specifically instructed to do so by your doctor.
Take precautions while using retapamulin as it may cause local skin reactions (contact dermatitis), or irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes.
