Chemical Structure_Hydrocortisone

Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid is available as a nonaqueous otic solution buffered at pH 3 for use in the external ear canal.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY: Acetic acid is antibacterial and antifungal; hydrocortisone is antiinflammatory, antiallergic and antipruritic; propylene glycol is hydrophilic and provides a low surface tension; benzethonium chloride is a surface active agent that promotes contact of the solution with tissues.


INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION

INDICATIONS AND USAGE: For the treatment of superficial infections of the external auditory canal caused by organisms susceptible to the action of the antimicrobial, complicated by inflammation.

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Carefully remove all cerumen and debris to allow Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid to contact infected surfaces directly. To promote continuous contact, insert a wick of cotton saturated with Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid into the ear canal; the wick may also be saturated after insertion. Instruct the patient to keep the wick in for at least 24 hours and to keep it moist by adding 3 to 5 drops of Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid every 4 to 6 hours. The wick may be removed after 24 hours but the patient should continue to instill 5 drops of Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid 3 or 4 times daily thereafter, for as long as indicated. In pediatric patients, 3 to 4 drops may be sufficient due to the smaller capacity of the ear canal.


CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Hypersensitivity to Hydrocortisone and Acetic Acid or any of the ingredients; herpes simplex, vaccinia and varicella. Perforated tympanic membrane is considered a contraindication to the use of any medication in the external ear canal.

WARNINGS SECTION

WARNINGS: Discontinue promptly if sensitization or irritation occurs.


ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION

ADVERSE REACTIONS: Stinging or burning may be noted occasionally; local irritation has occurred very rarely.

To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Saptalis Pharmaceuticals, LLC at 1-833-727-8254 or FDA at 1-­800-FDA-1088 orwww.fda.gov/medwatch.
