Cefazolin 33.3 mg/ml Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile, preservative-free, liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication to the eyes to treat a range of ophthalmic conditions. This topical ophthalmic antibiotic solution is used to treat a variety of ocular infections, including conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, corneal ulcer, and endophthalmitis.

It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to cell death and helps to combat the infection.

It is important to note that this formulation should not be used if the patient has a known allergy to cefazolin or any of the other ingredients in the solution.

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.
