What are the effects of boric acid borneol ear drops

Boric acid borneol ear drops are mainly used to treat otitis media, otitis interna, and otolaryngology. Because in life, many people are susceptible to these diseases and are not affected by problems, so the rational use of these drugs is the key to treating and improving the condition, but patients also need to understand that the use of these drugs often has some contraindications and side effects, so pay attention to consultation before taking the medicine.

1. The main ingredients of boric acid borneol ear drops include 9% boric acid and 0.4% borneol. It is a colorless or slightly yellow viscous liquid. It is used for otitis media, otitis interna, and otolaryngology, and is an anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug for the ear. It is mainly used to treat ear bottom, ear blockage, yellow water discharge in the ear, etc. The boric acid in boric acid borneol ear drops does not easily penetrate intact skin, but can be absorbed from damaged skin, wounds, and mucous membranes. About 50% of the absorbed amount is excreted in the urine within 12 hours, and the rest is excreted within 3-7 days. Borneol is rapidly absorbed through the meninges, can pass the blood-brain barrier within 5 minutes after administration, and accumulates in the brain for a long time.

2. Animal experiments have shown that borneol has no obvious abortion-inducing effect on early pregnancy, but has obvious abortion-inducing effect on mice in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. Some reports believe that borneol can be used as an anti-fertility drug. The use of vaginal suppositories as the anti-fertility dosage form of borneol can improve bioavailability and enhance its anti-fertility effect. The vaginal suppository matrix of borneol uses a water-soluble matrix and adds an appropriate amount of surfactant, which is conducive to the release of borneol.

3. Why is the sale of boric acid borneol ear drops banned? The reasons are related to many aspects, including the low price and production volume of the drug. Boric acid borneol ear drops are prescription drugs. Prescription drugs are drugs that can only be dispensed, purchased and used with a prescription from a practicing physician or practicing assistant physician; while over-the-counter drugs are drugs that can be judged, purchased and used by oneself without a physician's prescription. Boric acid and borneol ear drops are not available in general pharmacies and must be purchased at hospitals or pharmacies.
