Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a compounded medication that combines Budesonide, Ciprofloxacin, and Clotrimazole in a single oral capsule. The capsule is designed to be opened and its contents mixed with a saline solution for nasal irrigation or nebulization. This method of administration allows for targeted delivery of the medication, which can be particularly beneficial in treating certain disease states.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation. It is often used in the treatment of asthma, non-infectious rhinitis (including hay fever and other allergies), and for its anti-inflammatory properties. In this formulation, it can help to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages and lungs, improving breathing and reducing symptoms such as wheezing.

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. In this formulation, it can help to treat or prevent infections in the nasal passages and lungs, which can be particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as chronic sinusitis or cystic fibrosis.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that is used to treat a variety of fungal infections. In this formulation, it can help to treat or prevent fungal infections in the nasal passages and lungs, which can be particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as fungal sinusitis or those with compromised immune systems.

By combining these three active ingredients in a single capsule, this formulation provides a comprehensive treatment option for patients with a variety of respiratory conditions. The ability to deliver the medication directly to the affected areas via nasal irrigation or nebulization can increase the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce potential side effects.

As with any medication, it is important for patients and prescribers to understand the potential risks and benefits of this treatment. Patients should discuss any concerns or questions they may have with their healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The Budesonide 1.5 mg/Ciprofloxacin 90 mg/Clotrimazole 10 mg Oral Capsule is a compounded medication designed for nasal irrigation or nebulization. This formulation combines the anti-inflammatory properties of Budesonide, the antibacterial effects of Ciprofloxacin, and the antifungal benefits of Clotrimazole. It is primarily used to treat conditions such as sinusitis, nasal polyps, and fungal infections of the nasal passages.

While this formulation is generally safe for most patients, it's important to be aware of potential drug interactions. Budesonide, Ciprofloxacin, and Clotrimazole can interact with other medications, potentially altering their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

Budesonide, a corticosteroid, may interact with other corticosteroids, leading to an increased risk of systemic side effects. It can also interact with certain antifungal medications, such as ketoconazole, which can increase the levels of Budesonide in the body and potentially lead to steroid excess. If you are taking any other corticosteroids or antifungal medications, please inform your healthcare provider.

Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, can interact with antacids, multivitamins, or supplements that contain calcium, magnesium, aluminum, or iron, which can reduce the absorption of Ciprofloxacin. It can also interact with certain heart medications, leading to an increased risk of QT prolongation, a serious heart rhythm condition. If you are taking any of these medications, it's important to take Ciprofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after these products.

Clotrimazole, an antifungal medication, has minimal systemic absorption and is unlikely to interact with other medications. However, it's still important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements.

It's also important to note that while this formulation is intended for nasal irrigation or nebulization, it should not be swallowed. If swallowed, it can interact with other medications in the digestive system, potentially leading to unwanted side effects.

Always inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and dietary supplements. If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are here to help ensure your treatment is as safe and effective as possible.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Budesonide 1.5 mg/Ciprofloxacin 90 mg/Clotrimazole 10 mg Oral Capsule is a compounded medication designed for nasal irrigation or nebulization. This formulation combines three active ingredients, each with a specific role in treating various disease states.

Budesonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation in the body. It is often used to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, and nasal polyps. When used in nasal irrigation or nebulization, it can directly target the inflamed areas in the nasal passages and lungs, providing relief from symptoms such as congestion, sneezing, and difficulty breathing.

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including sinusitis and lower respiratory tract infections. When used in this compounded formulation, it can directly target the bacteria in the nasal passages and lungs, helping to clear the infection more quickly and effectively.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that works by stopping the growth of fungus. It is used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including those that can occur in the nasal passages and lungs. When used in this compounded formulation, it can directly target the fungus, helping to clear the infection more quickly and effectively.

The contents of the capsule are intended to be emptied and mixed with a saline solution for irrigation or nebulization as directed. This allows for targeted administration of the medication, which can lead to more effective treatment and fewer side effects compared to systemic administration.

This compounded formulation can be used to treat a variety of disease states, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, nasal polyps, sinusitis, and lower respiratory tract infections. It can also be used to treat fungal infections in the nasal passages and lungs. As with any medication, it should be used under the supervision of a healthcare provider, and patients should follow their provider's instructions for use.

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

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation, consisting of the combination of Budesonide, Ciprofloxacin and Clotrimazole, is particularly designed to be suitable for nasal irrigation or use in a nebulizer. Its main uses revolve around treating various conditions related to the nasal passage and lungs. This is not restricted, however, and there might be occasions where the medicament may be used off-label for other indications.

Budesonide, a corticosteroid, can help reduce inflammation in areas besides the nasal passage. If directed by a healthcare practitioner, this formulation could have potential uses in conditions that involve inflammation, such as certain types of colitis, skin conditions like eczema, and other respiratory conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Nonetheless, this is purely presumptive and these uses should only be considered under the professional supervision of a healthcare provider.

The antibiotic component of this formulation, Ciprofloxacin, is adept at treating a variety of bacterial infections. Off-label uses could potentially include infection treatment of the skin, the urinary tract, or the digestive system. Its use, however, should be coordinated with a qualified healthcare provider due to the risks of antibiotic resistance.

Clotrimazole, an antifungal, may be used to treat fungal infections in areas other than the nasal passage. Conditions like athlete's foot, oral thrush, diaper rash etc., might possibly benefit from this formulation. This would depend, of course, on individual patient characteristics and circumstances. Again, the direction of an experienced healthcare provider is necessary to guide use in this manner.

Though there might be other potential uses for this specific formulation, it is paramount that any use outside of the originally intended purpose be under the supervision and guidance of a healthcare provider. Also, please bear in mind that the off-label uses mentioned under each medication component here are merely speculative based on their individual profiles but have not been specifically studied or approved for this particular compounded formulation.

If you have any queries related to the formulation or its usage, do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are always here to offer expert advice and guidance to ensure safe and effective medication use.
