Otolaryngology (Ear/Nose/Throat)

Mack Bayou Compounding Pharmacy collaborates with physicians to provide treatment options designed to treat infections directly where they reside. Why take an oral medication, which gets into the entire body and often causes side effects, when you can target the source of the infection with a compounded dosage form?

We compound customized Topical Sinus Therapy to treat many conditions including allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and post-nasal drip.

Our pharmacists specialize in formulating select medications into dry capsules with LoxaSperse™ to be opened and emptied into an irrigation device (i.e. Neil-Med®). The sinus rinse is performed in the comfort of your own home.

  • Benefits from this procedure include:
  • Deep sinus exposure to the medication…treats infection at the source
  • Improved mucociliary clearance
  • Avoidance of gut exposure to antibiotics (which may lead to dysbiosis, infection and complication)
  • Use of antimicrobial, antifungal and biofilm-degrading ingredients
  • Copious peer-reviewed literature to support use

Compared to other therapies, this approach works faster, with minimal side effects and minimal chances of failure/recurrence. It also offers an extended shelf life, ideal for patients needing short-course treatments from time to time.

Capsules are formulated with dry powder active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and LoxaSperse™ for improved delivery in the sinus cavity. Single- or multiple-ingredient formulations can include:

  • Antibiotics
  • Antifungals
  • Antihistamines
  • Corticosteroids
  • Mucolytics
  • Natural products such as xylitol, EGCg, and beta-glucan
