Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is pleased to present our compounded formulation of Hydrocortisone 1%/Neomycin 3.5 mg/ml/Polymyxin B 10,000 U/ml Otic Solution. This specialized liquid formulation is specifically designed for otic use, providing targeted treatment for a range of ear conditions.

The unique combination of hydrocortisone, neomycin, and polymyxin B in this formulation offers a comprehensive treatment approach. Hydrocortisone serves as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to alleviate inflammation and itching associated with ear conditions. Neomycin and polymyxin B, on the other hand, provide antibacterial and antifungal properties, effectively eliminating bacteria and fungi that may be causing or exacerbating the condition. This synergistic combination of ingredients not only helps to alleviate symptoms but also promotes healing of the affected area.

It is designed for administration using a specific ear dropper or applicator, as directed by a healthcare professional. As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed to ensure its effectiveness and to minimize the risk of side effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about this Hydrocortisone 1%/Neomycin 3.5 mg/ml/Polymyxin B 10,000 U/ml Otic Solution, or if you need further information on its use, please do not hesitate to contact us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team is here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of this formulation should not use it. It is also not recommended for patients with a perforated tympanic membrane.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any other medical conditions they have, including allergies, kidney or liver disease, or any other medical conditions. It is also important to inform the healthcare provider if you have a history of ear infections or ear surgery, hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, dizziness, ear pain, ear discharge, ear itching, or ear swelling.

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.

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.

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.
