Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.google.com/patents/US2824042 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22718290 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15516810 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10211213 | https://www.drugs.com/monograph/aluminum-acetate.html

Burow invented an astringent antiseptic solution of aluminium acetate in water to relieve the itching and inflammation of minor skin irritations. At present the oflicial U. S. P. procedure to made Burow's solution involves the reaction of aluminum sulfate, calcium carbonate and acetic acid to form aluminum sub-acetate, also termed basic aluminum acetate. The solution is available as an over-the-counter drug for topical administration, with brand names including Domeboro. Burow's solution has been shown to be effective against chronic suppurative otitis media and otitis externa. It is active against bacteria resulting in damage to the cell wall.

Curative
DOMEBORO

Approved Use

This medication is used to treat an outer ear infection (external otitis). This product contains acetic acid/aluminum acetate, a combination that stops the growth of bacteria and fungus. Treating the infection reduces pain and swelling in the ear. Wetness in the ear canal can help bacteria and fungus to grow. This medication also causes drying of the ear canal, helping to cure the infection.
