A small arrow pointing down

Mupirocin 15 mg Capsules are a specially compounded formulation designed for use in nasal irrigation or nebulization. This unique formulation is primarily used to treat a variety of conditions including Staphylococcal Infection, Sinusitis, Rhinitis, Otitis Media, and Bronchitis. Mupirocin, the active ingredient, is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby effectively treating the aforementioned conditions.

To use, the contents of one (1) Mupirocin 15 mg capsule should be emptied into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. The resulting solution should then be used for nasal irrigation, with half a bottle per nostril, twice daily.

It is of utmost importance to use this formulation strictly as directed and not for any other purpose.

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.
