APNO is a compounded ointment designed for breastfeeding mothers. It combines an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal to relieve sore nipples, promote healing, and prevent infections.

Typical formulations include Mupirocin 2% (antibiotic), Betamethasone 0.1% (anti-inflammatory), and Miconazole 2% (antifungal). Your provider may adjust based on your needs.

After breastfeeding, apply a thin layer to the nipple and areola. No need to wash off before the next feeding, as APNO is safe for babies. Use consistently after each session unless otherwise directed.

Many women feel relief within the first few applications. Healing of cracked or damaged nipples often occurs within 3–7 days of consistent use.
