At a glance
Clotrimazole 1% Ear prep is an antifungal medication used for the treatment of fungal infections of the ear (fungal otitis externa).
Indications
- Fungal otitis externa
Pharmacology
Clotrimazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the production of ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes resulting in increased membrane permeability and leakage of essential constituents of the fungal cells.
Dosage
Adult Dose (Ear Drops): Apply 2-3 drops in the affected ear two or three times daily. Treatment should be continued for at least two weeks after the disappearance of all signs of infection to prevent re-infection.
Side effects
Common Side Effects (infrequent):
- Erythema (redness)
- Stinging
- Edema (swelling)
- Pruritus (itching)
- General irritation
Use in pregnancy
Systemic absorption of clotrimazole following topical application is marginal, so there should be low risk during pregnancy. However, consult your doctor before use.
