Can this drug be used on animals? Does it have vet. applications. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.180.8.107 (talk) 18:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mupirocin versus muciprocin

I recall reading, a long time ago, about a first-generation antibiotic called "muciprocin." (As a spelling fanatic, I'm sure of that spelling.) This name does not appear anywhere in Wikipedia, but I still see it occasionally in references to treating nasal/sinus infections, including in what I suspect are rather old books. Does anybody know whether mupirocin and muciprocin are the same antibiotic? If so, there should be a mention in the text and maybe a redirect. When did the spelling change, and why? -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 16:52, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"muciprocin" is the same thing. Wondering if it is just a spelling mistake? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:25, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No,it's not just a spelling mistake. The books I allude to above aren't mass-market stuff; they're reasonably scholarly (if old) publications. There are a few other current things where muciprocin is used, in addition to whatever it was I read way-back-when. So I don't know what's going on there. (Thanks for the redirect page; it does address the question on a practical level.) -- Bill-on-the-Hill (talk) 22:03, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Often the same med has a few spelling variations. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:47, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Drug class

"mupirocin is in the carboxylic acid class of medications.[4]" Carboxylic acid is not a proper medicine class as far as I'm aware. It appears that muprocin is essentially novel, with no other antibiotics in its class. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.227.44.58 (talk) 02:08, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Let me see what I can do about it... --Artoria 2e5 🌉 05:37, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
