Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Ciprofloxacin 2%/Ketoconazole 1% Otic Gel is a specialized compounded formulation designed to effectively treat a wide range of ear infections. This includes conditions such as Otitis Externa, Acute Otitis Media, Malignant Otitis Externa, Swimmer's Ear, and Fungal Otitis Externa. The formulation combines the potent effects of two active ingredients, ciprofloxacin and ketoconazole, to provide comprehensive coverage against both bacterial and fungal infections.

Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is known for its broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. On the other hand, ketoconazole is an antifungal agent that effectively combats various types of fungi.

Designed as a gel-like formulation, this product is intended for use in the ear canal. It offers a convenient and controlled application method for localized treatment of ear conditions. The product is typically dispensed in a bottle with an applicator for precise and easy administration, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the affected area for optimal results.

It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this product to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Ciprofloxacin 2%/Ketoconazole 1% Otic Gel is a specialized formulation designed for the treatment of various ear conditions, including Otitis Externa, Acute Otitis Media, Malignant Otitis Externa, Swimmer's Ear, and Fungal Otitis Externa. This unique combination of a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and an antifungal agent offers a broad spectrum of activity against both bacterial and fungal infections.

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication and transcription, effectively halting the growth and spread of the bacteria. Ketoconazole, on the other hand, inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, thereby disrupting the growth and proliferation of fungal cells.

The gel is typically dispensed in a bottle with an applicator for precise and easy administration. It is designed for use in the ear canal, providing a localized treatment for the affected area. Patients are advised to apply the gel twice daily for up to 7 days, as directed by their healthcare provider.

It is important for patients to avoid contact with the eyes and to wash their hands after application. If symptoms do not improve or if any adverse effects are experienced, patients should immediately contact their healthcare provider.

Prescribers should note that Ciprofloxacin 2%/Ketoconazole 1% Otic Gel is not recommended for use in children under the age of 12 years. Additionally, it should not be used in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either of the active ingredients. As with all medications, it is crucial to consider the patient's overall health status, other medications, and potential drug interactions before prescribing this otic gel.

If you have any questions about Ciprofloxacin 2%/Ketoconazole 1% Otic Gel or its use in the treatment of various ear conditions, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

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.
