Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Tobramycin 100 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed for use in nasal irrigation and nebulizer treatments. This unique formulation is intended to treat a range of respiratory conditions, including Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchiectasis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Asthma, and Sinusitis. Tobramycin, the active ingredient, is an antibiotic that works to reduce inflammation and clear mucus from the airways, thereby facilitating easier breathing.

The capsules are designed to be used in conjunction with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse system. To use, patients are instructed to empty the contents of one capsule into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse solution. The resulting mixture is then used to irrigate each nostril twice daily, using half a bottle per nostril. It is crucial to remember that these capsules are not intended for oral consumption and should not be swallowed.

This formulation is a solid dosage form prepared by compounding. 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 active ingredient reaches the affected areas directly.

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.
