How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Vancomycin 200 mg/Betamethasone 0.5 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed to treat conditions such as nasal polyps, sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis. This unique formulation is intended for nasal irrigation or nebulization, providing targeted administration of the medication directly to the affected areas.

The capsules are prepared by compounding, and the contents of each capsule are designed to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution. This mixture is then used for irrigation or nebulization as directed, typically with a device such as the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse. This method allows for the direct application of the medication to the nasal passages, providing relief from symptoms and promoting healing.

The combination of vancomycin, an antibiotic, and betamethasone, a corticosteroid, works synergistically to combat the symptoms of these conditions. Vancomycin helps to reduce the amount of bacteria in the nasal passages, while betamethasone helps to reduce inflammation and swelling. Together, these two medications can help to alleviate the symptoms of nasal polyps, sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis, improving breathing and overall comfort.

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.
