Symptoms: There is currently limited experience with overdosage of mupirocin.
Management: The toxicity of mupirocin is very low. In the event of accidental ingestion of the ointment, symptomatic treatment should be given.
In case of erroneous oral intake of large quantities of the ointment, renal function should be closely monitored in patients with renal insufficiency because of the possible side effects of polyethylene glycol. There is no specific treatment for an overdose of mupirocin. In the event of overdose, the patient should be treated supportively with appropriate monitoring as necessary. Further management should be as clinically indicated or as recommended by the national poisons centre, where available.
