How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Boric Acid 10% Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that is primarily used for topical application. This medication is dispensed in a tube and is designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. It can also be used to treat bacterial infections like impetigo, as well as skin irritations including diaper rash and eczema.

The ointment works by eliminating the fungi and bacteria that cause these infections. It also provides a protective barrier to the skin, aiding in the healing process. The greasy or oily base of the ointment facilitates the delivery of the medication to the affected area, ensuring localized treatment.

To use Boric Acid 10% Ointment, apply a thin layer to the affected area two to three times a day. The ointment should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. It is important to wash your hands after each application to avoid spreading the infection. Unless directed by your doctor, do not cover the treated area with a bandage or other covering.

Even if your symptoms improve, discontinuing the use of the ointment prematurely may result in the infection not being completely cured and potentially returning. If you have any questions or concerns about using Boric Acid 10% Ointment, please do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
