Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Clioquinol 1%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension is a specially compounded medication designed for targeted treatment of various ear conditions. This unique formulation combines the antifungal agent clioquinol and the corticosteroid hydrocortisone, both at a 1% concentration. These two active ingredients work synergistically to alleviate symptoms associated with ear conditions such as otitis externa, otitis media, and swimmer's ear.

Clioquinol, the antifungal component, inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria, thereby helping to control and eliminate infections. Hydrocortisone, on the other hand, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that reduces inflammation, providing relief from associated symptoms such as itching, pain, and swelling.

This otic suspension is a liquid formulation specifically designed for use in the ear canal. It is administered using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed by your healthcare provider. The ease of application allows for direct delivery of the medication to the affected area, ensuring optimal effectiveness.

It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. This includes the dosage, frequency, and duration of use. It is also important to note that this medication should not be used for more than 10 days without consulting your healthcare provider. This is to prevent potential side effects and to ensure the condition is being effectively managed.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with high-quality compounded medications tailored to their specific needs. If you have any questions or concerns about Clioquinol 1%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension or any other compounded medications, we encourage you to reach out to us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Clioquinol 1%/Hydrocortisone 1% Otic Suspension is a compounded liquid formulation specifically designed for use in the ear canal. This combination medication is used to treat bacterial and fungal infections of the ear, including acute otitis externa, commonly known as swimmer's ear, and chronic otitis externa, also known as chronic ear infection. It can also be used to treat other ear infections caused by bacteria and fungi.

The medication works by killing the bacteria and fungi that cause the infection, while the hydrocortisone component helps to reduce inflammation and itching, providing targeted treatment for various ear conditions. The suspension is administered using a specific ear dropper or applicator as directed.

To use this medication, the patient should lie down with the affected ear facing up. The suspension should be warmed to body temperature before use. The patient should then tilt their head to the side and gently pull the earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal. The suspension should then be instilled into the ear canal, using the dropper provided. The patient should then remain in the same position for a few minutes to allow the medication to reach the affected area.

It is crucial to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use more or less than the recommended dose. Do not use this medication for longer than prescribed. If your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen, contact your doctor immediately.

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.
