Buro Sol Discontinued? (Page 4) (Top voted 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 confirm. Dermburo is the product that I now buy in replacement of buro sol. It is easy to find in any pharmacy.

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.

You mean the antiseptic powder?

Unfortunately, since it's never been available in the U.S., I can't find much information on it or why it was discontinued. I can't even find a listing of the ingredients.

Learn more antiseptic details here.

Did you try asking a pharmacist if they can recommend an alternative? I would, but I'm not sure what's available in Canada.

A pharmacist at PharmaSave told me last month that their Company probably will bring out their own (generic?) replacement product for the ear drops this winter.

Maybe they will be offer the powder as well?

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.
