Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Gentamicin 80 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed for use in nasal irrigation or nebulization. This unique formulation is intended to treat a range of chronic conditions such as Chronic Sinusitis, Otitis Media, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchitis, and Cystic Fibrosis. Gentamicin, the active ingredient, is an antibiotic that works to combat infection and reduce inflammation.

The capsules are designed to be used in conjunction with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse system. To use, simply empty the contents of one (1) capsule into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse solution. Proceed to irrigate half a bottle per nostril twice daily. It is crucial to note that the capsules are not intended for oral consumption.

This formulation is a solid dosage form prepared by compounding. The contents of the capsule are meant to be mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed. This method allows for a targeted administration of the medication, ensuring that the medication reaches the affected areas effectively.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Gentamicin 80 mg Capsules are a compounded medication designed to treat a variety of chronic and acute disease states, including Chronic Sinusitis, Otitis Media, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchitis, and Cystic Fibrosis. This unique formulation is intended for Nasal Irrigation or Nebulization, specifically designed to be used with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse system.

The capsules contain Gentamicin, an antibiotic that works by eliminating the bacteria causing these infections. This targeted approach not only reduces inflammation but also alleviates the symptoms associated with these conditions. In the case of Cystic Fibrosis, Gentamicin can help decrease the amount of mucus in the lungs, thereby improving breathing.

It's crucial to note that these capsules are not meant to be swallowed. The contents of each capsule should be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed. This allows for a targeted administration of the medication, ensuring its effectiveness.

As with any medication, it's essential to follow the directions for this formulation carefully. Misuse or incorrect administration can lead to reduced effectiveness or potential side effects.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Gentamicin 80 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed specifically for Nasal Irrigation/Nebulizer use, intended to treat a variety of conditions such as Chronic Sinusitis, Otitis Media, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchitis, and Cystic Fibrosis. Unlike traditional oral medications, these capsules are not meant to be swallowed. Instead, they are designed to deliver a concentrated dose of medication directly to the affected area, providing a more targeted treatment approach.

The unique design of these capsules allows for the contents to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed. This method of administration can help reduce the risk of side effects commonly associated with systemic absorption of medications. Specifically, these capsules are designed to be used with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. The contents of one capsule should be emptied into a standard volume (8oz) of the rinse before use, which should then be used to irrigate each nostril twice daily.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to use this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to assist you with your medication needs and to ensure you understand how to use your medication safely and effectively.

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.
