Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Gentamicin 20 mg/Mupirocin 15 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed for use in nasal irrigation or nebulization. This unique formulation is intended to treat conditions such as nasal staphylococcal infection, sinusitis, rhinitis, otitis media, and bronchitis. The medication is prepared in solid dosage forms by compounding, with the contents of each capsule intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed. This method allows for targeted administration of the medication.

The active ingredients in this formulation are Gentamicin and Mupirocin. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while Mupirocin works by preventing bacteria from producing the proteins they need to grow and multiply. The combined action of these two antibiotics helps to effectively treat the aforementioned conditions.

This compounded formulation is designed to be used with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. To use, patients should empty the contents of one capsule into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse and irrigate 1/2 bottle per nostril twice daily. It is important to note that this medication is not intended to be swallowed.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with any queries you may have regarding this compounded medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
