Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Boric Acid 750 mg/Chloramphenicol 750 mg/Hydrocortisone 10 mg Otic Insufflation Powder is a specially compounded formulation designed to provide targeted treatment for various ear conditions. This unique formulation is composed of three active ingredients: boric acid, chloramphenicol, and hydrocortisone, each playing a crucial role in combating ear infections and inflammation.

Boric acid, an antiseptic, works to alleviate inflammation and irritation within the ear. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and swelling.

The medication is administered in the form of an otic insufflation powder. This powdered formulation is specifically designed for use in the ear canal, applied using an otic insufflator. The powder is placed in the ear canal and allowed to dissolve, facilitating the direct absorption of the active ingredients into the ear. This method of administration ensures localized therapy.

Patients are advised to follow their doctor's instructions for use, as well as any additional instructions provided by their pharmacist. This ensures optimal efficacy of the medication and helps to prevent potential side effects or complications.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Boric Acid 750 mg/Chloramphenicol 750 mg/Hydrocortisone 10 mg Otic Insufflation Powder is a specialized compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of various ear conditions. This unique combination of three active ingredients - boric acid, chloramphenicol, and hydrocortisone - works synergistically to combat bacterial and fungal infections in the ear.

Boric acid serves as an antiseptic, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic, aids in eliminating these harmful microorganisms. Hydrocortisone, an anti-inflammatory agent, helps to alleviate inflammation and swelling within the ear. Together, these ingredients effectively alleviate symptoms associated with bacterial and fungal ear infections, such as pain, itching, and discharge.

Application of this formulation requires insufflation into the ear canal, typically using a cotton swab or similar applicator. It is recommended to apply the powder twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth during application.

It can also be utilized for the treatment of fungal ear infections, such as otomycosis.

As with any medication, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its application, do not hesitate to seek professional advice.

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.
