Do not use them together unless you were advised by a physician. Both of these products deliver the recommended dose of antibiotics. Don't take 2 different products that contain antibiotic because you will end up getting a big dose. Also Mupirocin and bacitracin, neomycin are all of the same class so don't use them together. Pick just one to avoid side effects.
