Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Vancomycin 50 mg/Mupirocin 20 mg Capsules are a specially compounded medication designed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This unique formulation is intended for nasal irrigation or nebulization, and should not be ingested orally.

Vancomycin is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, while Mupirocin works by preventing bacteria from producing certain essential proteins, thereby stunting their growth. The combination of these two antibiotics in one capsule makes this formulation a potent weapon against a range of bacterial infections.

This formulation is specifically designed to be used with the NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse system. The contents of one (1) capsule should be emptied into a standard volume (8oz) of NeilMed™ Sinus Rinse solution. The resulting mixture should then be used for irrigation, with half a bottle per nostril, twice daily. This method allows for targeted administration of the medication, ensuring that the antibiotics reach the infection site directly.

However, it is important to use this medication as directed, and to reach out to a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns. At Bayview Pharmacy, we are always available to provide guidance and support as you navigate your treatment journey.

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.
