Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation combines Clioquinol 1% and Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.1% in an otic liquid, specifically designed for use in the ear canal. It works by inhibiting the growth of or killing the bacteria and fungi causing the infection, thereby reducing the symptoms and promoting healing.

Fluocinolone Acetonide, on the other hand, is a potent corticosteroid that provides anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. It works by reducing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, thereby helping to reduce swelling, redness, and itching associated with ear conditions. This makes it particularly useful in treating inflammatory conditions of the ear, such as otitis externa.

The combination of these two active ingredients in an otic liquid formulation allows for targeted treatment directly in the ear canal. The liquid formulation is easy to administer using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed, allowing for precise dosing and minimal systemic absorption.

Overuse or misuse can lead to side effects such as skin thinning or adrenal suppression. Patients should also be aware that they should not use this medication if they have a viral or fungal infection in the ear that is not being treated, or if they are allergic to any of the ingredients in the formulation.

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

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

The combination of Clioquinol and Fluocinolone Acetonide in an otic liquid formulation is designed to treat various ear conditions, such as infections and inflammation. Clioquinol is an antifungal and antibacterial agent that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, thereby treating or preventing infections. Fluocinolone Acetonide, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, and redness.

Certain medications may interact with Clioquinol and Fluocinolone Acetonide, potentially altering their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. For instance, using other corticosteroids or immunosuppressants concurrently with this formulation may increase the risk of systemic side effects due to enhanced systemic absorption of Fluocinolone Acetonide.

Additionally, medications that have ototoxic potential, such as certain antibiotics (e.g., aminoglycosides), loop diuretics, or platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, should be used with caution. If these medications are used concurrently with this otic formulation, it may increase the risk of ototoxicity, especially if the eardrum is perforated.

It's also important to note that Clioquinol can chelate with metal ions, which may affect the absorption of certain medications, such as zinc and iron supplements, or antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium. Therefore, it's recommended to administer these medications at least 2 hours apart from the application of this otic formulation.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all the medications they are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or potential drug interactions, please don't 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

The Clioquinol 1%/Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.1% Otic Liquid is a combination medication that works by targeting and treating various ear conditions such as infections and inflammation. This formulation contains two active ingredients: Clioquinol and Fluocinolone Acetonide. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in the treatment process.

Clioquinol is an antifungal and antibacterial agent. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, thereby treating or preventing infections. It does this by interfering with the DNA and RNA synthesis of these microorganisms, which prevents them from multiplying and growing. This helps to clear up the infection and alleviate symptoms such as itching, redness, and discomfort.

Fluocinolone Acetonide, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid. It works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness. Corticosteroids function by suppressing the immune response, which reduces inflammation and redness. They also inhibit the actions of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. This helps to relieve symptoms such as swelling, itching, and discomfort associated with ear conditions.

The liquid formulation is specifically designed for use in the ear canal. It is administered using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed. This allows for targeted treatment, ensuring that the medication is delivered directly to the affected area. This not only maximizes the effectiveness of the treatment but also minimizes potential side effects that could occur if the medication were to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

It's important to note that while this medication can provide relief from symptoms, it does not cure the underlying condition. Therefore, it's crucial to continue using the medication as directed by your healthcare provider, even if symptoms improve. Discontinuing the medication prematurely may result in a return of the infection or inflammation.

If you have any questions about this formulation or its use, 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.
