What Is DermOtic?
DermOtic (fluocinolone acetonide oil) is a low to medium potency corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of chronic eczematous external otitis in adults and pediatric patients 2 years and older.
What Are Side Effects of DermOtic?
Side effects of DermOtic include:
Dosage for DermOtic
For the treatment of chronic eczematous external otitis, using the supplied ear-dropper, apply a dose of 5 drops of DermOtic Oil into the affected ear. To apply, tilt head to one side so that the ear is facing up. Then gently pull the ear lobe backward and upward and apply 5 drops of DermOtic Oil into the ear. Keep head tilted for about a minute to allow DermOtic Oil to penetrate lower into the ear canal. Gently pat excess material dripping out of the ear using a clean cotton ball. Follow these instructions twice each day for 7 to 14 days.
DermOtic In Children
DermOtic Oil may be used twice daily for up to 2 weeks in pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with chronic eczematous external otitis. Children may be more susceptible to systemic toxicity from equivalent doses due to their larger skin surface to body mass ratios. DermOtic Oil is formulated with 48% refined peanut oil NF. Physicians should use caution in prescribing DermOtic Oil for peanut-sensitive individuals.
What Drugs, Substances, or Supplements Interact with DermOtic?
DermOtic may interact with other medicines.
Tell your doctor all medications and supplements you use.
DermOtic During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before using DermOtic; it is unknown how it would affect a fetus. Systemically administered corticosteroids appear in human milk and could suppress growth, interfere with endogenous corticosteroid production, or cause other untoward effects. It is unknown if topical administration of corticosteroids such as DermOtic could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in breast milk, caution should be exercised when DermOtic Oil is used while breastfeeding.
Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
