Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Levofloxacin 125 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed for nasal irrigation or nebulization. This unique formulation is intended to treat a variety of disease states, including sinusitis, rhinosinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and cystic fibrosis. Levofloxacin, the active ingredient, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that effectively combats a wide range of bacteria by inhibiting their growth, thereby reducing the severity of the infection.

The capsules are prepared by compounding, a process that ensures the precise dosage and purity of the medication. The contents of each capsule are 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, ensuring that the antibiotic reaches the affected areas directly. This not only enhances the effectiveness of the treatment but also minimizes potential systemic side effects.

Using Levofloxacin 125 mg Capsules is simple and convenient. The capsules are to be emptied into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse and used for irrigation, with half a bottle per nostril twice daily.

Levofloxacin 125 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed for targeted administration of medication. This formulation is primarily used to treat conditions such as Sinusitis, Rhinosinusitis, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, and Cystic Fibrosis. The contents of each capsule are intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for nasal irrigation or nebulization, as directed.

If you experience any of these side effects, it's important to contact your healthcare provider immediately. Furthermore, this formulation may interact with other medications.

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.
