Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Hydrocortisone 1%/Neomycin 0.35% Otic Suspension is a potent compounded formulation designed to combat bacterial and fungal infections of the ear. This topical medication is a blend of two active ingredients, hydrocortisone and neomycin, which synergistically work to alleviate inflammation and eradicate bacteria and fungi.

The medication is available in a suspension form, which is directly applied to the affected area of the ear. It is commonly used to treat various ear infections, including otitis externa, otitis media, and swimmer's ear.

Hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid, functions by reducing inflammation and relieving itching and discomfort associated with ear infections.

Hydrocortisone 1%/Neomycin 0.35% Otic Suspension is a compounded formulation specifically designed to treat bacterial ear infections. This topical medication combines the potent effects of two active ingredients, hydrocortisone and neomycin, to effectively combat inflammation and infection.

Hydrocortisone, a type of corticosteroid, works by reducing inflammation and swelling. This helps to alleviate some of the discomfort associated with ear infections, such as pain and itching.

This medication is typically applied directly to the affected ear, usually twice a day or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and duration of use to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. Overuse or prolonged use can lead to potential side effects or resistance.

It's important to understand that Hydrocortisone 1%/Neomycin 0.35% Otic Suspension is specifically formulated to treat bacterial infections. It is not effective against viral or fungal infections. Therefore, it's essential to have a confirmed diagnosis of a bacterial ear infection before starting this treatment.
