Compounded all-purpose nipple ointment (APNO), also referred to as Newman’s nipple ointment, is a prescription-only topical formulation used to treat nipple pain, inflammation, and infections associated with breastfeeding. This multi-ingredient ointment typically includes an antifungal (e.g., miconazole), an antibiotic (e.g., mupirocin), and a steroid (e.g., betamethasone or hydrocortisone) to address the most common causes of nipple soreness—such as thrush, bacterial irritation, and inflammation. Compounded APNO is applied topically between feedings to soothe and heal damaged tissue, allowing for more comfortable nursing. Our pharmacy customizes APNO formulations based on prescriber preference and patient tolerance.
Prescribers and lactation providers recommend APNO because compounding brings these complementary ingredients together in one soothing ointment tailored to the mother's needs. We compound each ointment to the exact strengths your prescriber specifies, prepared individually for each prescription.
This is a compounded medication prepared to your prescription and used under a prescriber's guidance. Your provider will explain how to apply it and whether it needs to be wiped before feeding. Every batch is pharmacist-compounded, quality-verified, and shipped nationwide. Prescription required.
