All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO)
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.
