Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines two active ingredients: Betamethasone Dipropionate and Clotrimazole, in a liquid form designed for otic (ear) use. Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that fights infections caused by fungus. Together, they provide a comprehensive treatment for ear infections and inflammations.

Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.13%/Clotrimazole 2% Otic Drops are administered directly into the ear canal, providing a precise and controlled method of delivering medication. This targeted approach ensures that the medication acts directly on the affected area, offering quick relief from symptoms and promoting healing. The drops are easy to administer and are generally well-tolerated, with minimal systemic absorption.

The Betamethasone component reduces inflammation and associated symptoms such as pain and itching, while the Clotrimazole component treats the underlying fungal infection. It can also be used to treat other otic conditions characterized by inflammation and/or fungal infections.

As with any medication, it's important to use Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.13%/Clotrimazole 2% Otic Drops as directed by a healthcare provider. The drops should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either Betamethasone or Clotrimazole. Side effects are rare but can include local irritation or burning sensation. If these persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Regular follow-up is recommended to monitor the patient's response to treatment and adjust the dosage if necessary.

If you have any questions about Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.13%/Clotrimazole 2% Otic Drops, or if you need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Betamethasone Dipropionate and Clotrimazole Otic Drops may interact with other medications, which can affect how the medications work or increase the risk of side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.

Betamethasone Dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that can suppress the immune system. Therefore, it may interact with medications that also affect the immune system such as cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or cancer chemotherapy. These interactions could potentially increase the risk of infections or other side effects.

Clotrimazole, an antifungal medication, may interact with certain drugs such as tacrolimus and sirolimus. Using these drugs together can increase the risk of serious side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider if you are using these medications.

It is also important to note that Betamethasone Dipropionate and Clotrimazole Otic Drops should not be used with other corticosteroids or antifungal medications unless directed by a healthcare provider. Using multiple medications from the same class can increase the risk of side effects and may not necessarily improve treatment outcomes.

Furthermore, avoid using this medication with other ear drops or ear medications without the advice of your healthcare provider. The interactions could change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects.

This medication treats otic conditions by reducing inflammation and fighting off fungal infections in the ear. Betamethasone Dipropionate reduces swelling, redness, and itching, which are common symptoms of ear infections or blockages. Clotrimazole works by stopping the growth of fungus, thereby treating or preventing fungal ear infections.

It is crucial to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may increase the chance of side effects.

If you have any questions about potential drug interactions or how to use Betamethasone Dipropionate and Clotrimazole Otic Drops, do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is here to help.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Betamethasone Dipropionate 0.13%/Clotrimazole 2% Otic Drops is a combination medication that works by treating ear infections and inflammation. This formulation contains two active ingredients: Betamethasone Dipropionate, a potent corticosteroid, and Clotrimazole, an antifungal agent. Both of these components work together to provide relief from otic conditions.

Betamethasone Dipropionate, the corticosteroid component, works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. It does this by suppressing the immune response in the body, which in turn reduces the production of chemicals that cause inflammation. This helps to alleviate discomfort and swelling in the ear canal, providing relief from symptoms such as pain and itching.

Clotrimazole, the antifungal component, works by inhibiting the growth of fungi by interfering with the production of the fungal cell membrane. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme (14-alpha demethylase) necessary for the conversion of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption in production leads to an increase in cellular permeability causing leakage of cellular contents. Clotrimazole may also inhibit endogenous respiration, interact with membrane phospholipids, inhibit the transformation of yeasts to mycelial forms, inhibit purine uptake, and impair triglyceride and/or phospholipid biosynthesis.

Together, these two components provide a comprehensive treatment for otic conditions caused by inflammation and fungal infections. The liquid formulation is designed for easy administration directly into the ear canal, allowing for targeted treatment and relief of symptoms. The precise and controlled method of delivery ensures that the medication is delivered directly to the affected area, maximizing its effectiveness while minimizing systemic absorption and potential side effects.

It's important to note that while Betamethasone Dipropionate/Clotrimazole Otic Drops can provide relief from symptoms, it does not treat the underlying cause of the infection or inflammation. Therefore, it's crucial to use this medication in conjunction with other treatments as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how it works, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of knowledgeable compounding pharmacists is always here to help.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
