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. Chloramphenicol, an antibiotic, is effective in combating bacterial infections. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, aids in reducing inflammation and swelling. This potent combination of ingredients is particularly effective in treating a range of ear infections, including otitis externa, otitis media, and acute otitis media.

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, providing fast and effective relief from ear conditions.

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.

This unique combination of three active ingredients - boric acid, chloramphenicol, and hydrocortisone - works synergistically to combat bacterial and fungal infections in the ear.

In addition to treating ear infections, this formulation is also effective in managing other conditions such as otitis externa, otitis media, and swimmer's ear. It can also be utilized for the treatment of fungal ear infections, such as otomycosis.
