Formula Information

Tetracaine 30% Otic Solution is a specially compounded liquid formulation designed for targeted treatment of various ear conditions. It is primarily used as a topical anesthetic to alleviate pain and itching associated with ear infections. The solution is sterile and is applied directly to the affected area of the ear using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed.

This otic solution is available in various strengths and formulations, including drops, sprays, and ointments. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication.

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.
