Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Tobramycin 20 mg/Mupirocin 5 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to treat a range of respiratory diseases, including Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Bronchiectasis, Sinusitis, and Rhinitis. This unique formulation is specifically intended for Nasal Irrigation, using the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse system, to deliver targeted treatment to the nasal passages.

The active ingredients in this formulation, Tobramycin and Mupirocin, are both antibiotics. Tobramycin works by killing bacteria, while Mupirocin prevents bacteria from growing. Together, they form a potent combination that helps to reduce inflammation and infection in the nasal passages, which are common symptoms of the aforementioned respiratory diseases.

Using this formulation can significantly reduce the severity of symptoms associated with these conditions, such as difficulty breathing and coughing, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. The contents of the capsules are intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed, allowing for targeted administration of the medication.

It is crucial to follow the directions for this formulation carefully. The contents of one (1) Tobramycin 20 mg/Mupirocin 5 mg capsule should be emptied into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. The solution should then be used to irrigate each nostril twice daily. It is important to note that the capsules should not be swallowed. If you have any questions or concerns about using this formulation, please consult with your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Tobramycin 20 mg/Mupirocin 5 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation of two potent antibiotics, specifically designed for targeted administration in the treatment of various respiratory diseases. These diseases include Cystic Fibrosis, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Bronchiectasis, Sinusitis, and Rhinitis. The unique feature of this formulation is that the contents of each capsule are intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for nasal irrigation or nebulization, as directed.

Tobramycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively halting the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Mupirocin, on the other hand, is a topical antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial growth. The combination of these two antibiotics in this formulation works synergistically to reduce inflammation and clear out bacteria from the nasal passages, providing relief from the symptoms of these respiratory diseases.

This compounded formulation is designed to be used in conjunction with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse, a saline solution used to irrigate the nasal passages and sinuses. The NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse aids in reducing inflammation and clearing out bacteria from the nasal passages, enhancing the effectiveness of the Tobramycin 20 mg/Mupirocin 5 mg Capsules. This combination provides a comprehensive and targeted treatment approach for these respiratory diseases.

If you have any questions about this compounded formulation, its usage, or how it can benefit your specific condition, please do not hesitate to reach out.

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.
