How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation combines three active ingredients: Hydrocortisone 1%, Neomycin 3.5 mg/ml, and Polymyxin B 10,000 U/ml. Specifically designed as an otic solution, it is used to treat various ear conditions such as infections and inflammation. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, works to reduce inflammation and swelling. Neomycin and Polymyxin B, both antibiotics, are effective in combating bacteria, making this formulation particularly useful in treating bacterial ear infections.

Typically, this formulation is used for short-term treatment of acute ear infections and is not recommended for long-term treatment of chronic ear infections. To administer, the patient should tilt their head to the side, allowing the solution to be placed into the affected ear using a specific ear dropper or applicator. The patient should remain in this position for a few minutes to ensure the solution reaches the affected area. Following this, the patient should tilt their head to the opposite side to allow the solution to drain. If both ears are affected, this process should be repeated for the other ear.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used if the patient has a perforated eardrum or is allergic to any of the active ingredients. If you have any questions about this formulation or its administration, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.
