Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 1%/Acetic Acid 2% Otic Solution is a specially compounded formulation designed for targeted treatment of various ear conditions, such as infections or inflammation.

This otic solution is specifically designed for use in the ear canal and is administered using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed. It is a convenient form of treatment that can be used up to four times daily. However, it is crucial to note that this medication should not be used for more than two weeks without consulting a healthcare provider. It is also important to avoid contact with the eyes and other mucous membranes when applying this 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.
