Burow's solution, named after the mid-19th century ophthalmologist Karl August Burow, is a pharmacological preparation comprising an aqueous solution of aluminium acetate. It is available in the U.S. as an over the counter preparation, with brand-names including Domeboro, Domeboro Otic, Star-Otic, and Borofair.[1] The preparation has astringent and antibacterial properties and may be used to treat a number of skin conditions such as insect bites, rashes caused by poison ivy and poison sumac, swelling, allergies and bruises. However its principal use is as a treatment for otitis, including otomycosis.[2]
Otitis
Burow's solution may be used to treat various forms of otitis.[3][4] As a drug it is inexpensive and non-ototoxic. In cases of otomycosis it is less effective than clotrimazole but remains an effective treatment.[5]
