Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension is a compounded formulation specifically designed for otic use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of otitis externa caused by susceptible strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Additionally, it is also used for the treatment of acute otitis media caused by susceptible strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.

This formulation is not intended for the treatment of viral or fungal infections. It is crucial for patients to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms appear to improve before completion. This is to ensure the complete eradication of the bacterial infection and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant strains.

Patients are advised to avoid contact with water while using this medication. In case of accidental contact, the medication should be immediately rinsed off. If symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, patients should promptly contact their healthcare provider.

It is also important for patients to inform their healthcare provider of any other medications they are currently taking. This is to avoid potential drug interactions that may affect the efficacy of the treatment or cause adverse effects. Always consult with your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns regarding your treatment.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension is a compounded formulation specifically designed to treat bacterial ear infections and inflammation of the ear canal. This dual-action medication works by eliminating the bacteria causing the infection and simultaneously reducing inflammation. It is an otic suspension, a liquid formulation that is directly applied into the ear canal for targeted treatment.

This medication is typically administered twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, over a course of 7-10 days. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness.

It is also used to alleviate inflammation of the ear canal caused by allergies, eczema, or other irritants. However, it is not designed to treat viral or fungal infections of the ear.

To administer Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension, tilt your head to the side and gently pull the earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal. Position the tip of the bottle into the ear canal and gently squeeze to release the medication. After application, keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow the medication to reach the affected area. Avoid rinsing the ear or wiping away the medication immediately after application.

It is essential to complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may result in the infection not being fully eradicated and potentially returning. If you have any questions or concerns about using Ciprofloxacin 0.3%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension, it is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
