Neomycin/polymyxin B/hydrocortisone, sold under the brand Cortisporin among others, is a medication consisting of neomycin, polymyxin B and hydrocortisone. It is a combination antibiotic and cortisone-like medicine. It can be used to treat infections of the ear canal and to help provide relief from redness, irritation, and discomfort of certain ear problems, including so-called swimmer's ear. In 2016, the drug came under scrutiny when Los Angeles Times columnist David Lazarus highlighted it as an example of unwarranted drug price markups by pharmaceutical companies.[1] The drug is owned by Dublin, Ireland-based Endo International.

In 2016 it was the 290th most prescribed medication in the United States with more than a million prescriptions.[2]

History

Cortisporin was developed by Glaxo Wellcome and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1975. In 1997, the rights were sold to Monarch Pharmaceuticals, a division of King Pharmaceuticals. In 2007, King sold it to JHP Pharmaceuticals. Par Pharmaceutical acquired JHP in 2014. In 2015, Endo International purchased Par.[1]

Cost

In David Lazarus' February 4, 2016 LA Times column, a pharmacist recalled a 10 milliliter vial of the drug selling for around $10 in the early 2010s. In 2015, the price was $100, and in 2016, it reportedly was selling for $195. A generic version, which is thinner and reportedly doesn't work as well, is priced at $144.[1]
