How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 1%/Aluminum Acetate Poloxamer Otic Gel is a specially formulated topical medication designed for the treatment of various ear conditions. This unique gel-like formulation is intended for use in the ear canal, providing a convenient and controlled method of application for localized treatment.

The medication is a combination of hydrocortisone, a potent anti-inflammatory steroid, and aluminum acetate, an astringent. Hydrocortisone works to alleviate inflammation and itching, while aluminum acetate helps to reduce swelling and irritation.

The poloxamer otic gel serves a dual purpose. It not only ensures that the medication stays within the ear canal for optimal effectiveness but also forms a protective barrier to further aid in the healing process. This formulation is typically dispensed in a bottle with an applicator for precise and easy administration.

To use Hydrocortisone 1%/Aluminum Acetate Poloxamer Otic Gel, it is recommended that the affected area be cleaned and dried prior to application. The gel should be applied twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider, gently massaging it into the affected area until it is fully absorbed.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Hydrocortisone 1%/Aluminum Acetate Poloxamer Otic Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are a team of experienced compounding pharmacists who are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

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.
