How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Gentamicin 4 mg/ml/Betamethasone 1 mg/ml Otic Solution is a specialized liquid formulation designed for targeted treatment of various ear conditions, such as infections or inflammation. This solution combines two potent medications: Gentamicin, an antibiotic that eradicates bacteria, and Betamethasone, a steroid that alleviates inflammation and itching.

When using this otic solution, it is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Typically, the solution should be applied to the affected ear twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Prior to application, the ear should be gently cleaned with a cotton swab and warm water. The solution is then instilled into the ear canal and should be left in place for at least 10 minutes before being gently wiped away with a clean cotton swab.

It's important to be aware that this formulation is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used if you have a perforated eardrum or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the solution. If you experience any adverse reactions, such as itching, redness, or swelling, it is essential to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

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.
