Fights bacteria

Mupirocin is a powerful prescription-only antibiotic ingredient that fights off potential bacteria that could be contributing to nipple pain and empirically protecting you from worsening symptoms.

Reduces pain and inflammation

Hydrocortisone provides the calm that your nipples need. This anti-inflammatory agent reduces swelling, and itching and tames nipple pain.

Protects from infection

Miconazole is a fungal infection’s worst enemy—an antifungal ingredient that treats current irritants like thrush and can protect against future infections.

What people say about APNO

Can I just rave about APNO for a minute?

"...Every new mom should be handed a tube of this stuff on their way out of the hospital. If you’re having issues like I was, I highly recommend it. Also, listen to your gut and if you feel like something isn’t normal don’t let someone convince you otherwise. Breastfeeding can be painful in the beginning, but I knew that what I was experiencing wasn’t right."

Samantha_I_Am on Reddit

I think it saved my breastfeeding journey!

"...My nipples were cracked and bleeding before my milk even came in. I used it liberally for about 1 week and it worked wonders. I did wipe it off before each feeding per the recommendation of a postpartum nurse, as it contains a steroid; however, I’m not sure that was necessary as it is safe for baby!"

Get APNO is a standout for breastfeeding mothers...

While it was extremely effective in offering relief FAST, what makes Get APNO truly exceptional is its accessibility. By offering an online consultation and free expedited shipping, there’s no need to waste precious time gambling with compounded pharmacies that require multiple in-person steps.
