Buro Sol Discontinued?
(Newest replies first)

I went to my pharmacy today here in Canada to be told that Smith Kline Glaxo is no longer making Buro Sol. Is this the case and, if it is, what are my alternatives?

I am pissed. Tried to get the drops for my swimmers ear. Instead had to buy a substitute called murine 3 months ago. This morning was havoc, waking up with a gushing sound in your ear, actually felt like a bug crawling. Every 30 seconds you can feel it, pain pressure. Called my husband and said I’ll give it till this evening and if not. Hospital I go. The only drops that were effective was the buro sol. Called the pharmacy and still just told to use the substitute. Still no answer to why it is discontinued.

Re: Anonymous (# 4)

The powder you are purchasing Dermburo is for skin conditions and says nothing about putting it in your ears??? Buro Sol has Aluminum Acetate Solution 0.35% Dermburo Powder has 0.16% along with other ingredients. I have heard you can get some compound Pharmacy's to "recreate" the Buro-Sol solution. They apparently made up a powder that you add water to.

I have also made exhaustive inquiries on this ear solution, that's providing you are talking of the same product, the proper name of which is "OTIC DOMEBORO", the active ingredients being "ACETIC ACID" and "ALUMINUM ACETATE". I don't know what you mean by Boro Sol. I am assuming you mean "BUROWS SOLUTION" the original name, which I gather, has been changed to the former. You should use the full proper name in order for someone to help you in your search. But there are alternatives on the market which you can easily buy over the counter, only that they use alcohol as the drying agent instead of ALUMINUM ACETATE. The difference is that alcohol burns and may cause temporary minor damage to the tissues whereas the latter don't. One product I know of is called "EAR CALM". Good luck.

Burosol has been discontinued for years - true. You may ask your pharmacist to order DERMBURO for Canadian manufacturer Dermtek Pharma (regrettably - no direct sales to consumers). You may also purchase online through HealthSnap Canada.

If you live in Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart sells Dermburo. Contact the manufacturer for other distributors in your area: dermtek.com/products/dermburo.html

If you live in the USA, Walmart sells Domeboro on their website.

I know this is an old thread, but if you are still looking, an exact replacement is called "Dermburo" and it is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario. Contact the manufacturer and ask where you can buy it in your area:

dermtek.com/products/dermburo.html

The two ingredients listed will bond together chemically in water to produce the Aluminum Acetate that was the ingredient in Buro-sol.

Hope this helps!

There is now something very similar called Dermburo. Box looks very similar to the buro Sol box and comes in the packets (you have to mix with water) just like burosol. I saw it in shoppers drug mart for 21. 99 which was the same price as the burosol use to be in shopper's drug mart.
