Retapamulin is a pleuromutilin antibacterial isolated from the fungus Clitopilus passeckerianus. It is a bacteriostatic agent that works by inhibiting biosynthesis of bacterial protein by binding at protein L3 on the ribosomal 50S subunit. It also inhibits peptidyl transfer and blocks P-site interactions at this site, thus preventing the formation of active 50S ribosomal subunits.
Discontinue use if skin irritation occurs. Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial superinfection. Re-evaluate if there is no response within 3 days. Children <9 mth. Pregnancy, lactation. Lactation: use caution
1-10% Application site irritation (2%) Headache, pyrexia, pruritus, eczema, diarrhoea.
