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.
