Locacorten Vioform Information

Locacorten Vioform at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of Locacorten-Vioform is Paladin Labs Inc., a leading Canadian speciality pharmaceutical company. Originally developed as a highly effective combination therapy, it remains a trusted brand for treating complex skin and ear conditions that involve both inflammation and infection. While Paladin produces the brand-name version in Canada, it is also manufactured by companies such as Amdipharm Mercury in other international markets, including Australia and the United Kingdom.

The generic clioquinol/flumethasone pivalate is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Locacorten-Vioform is available in two distinct strengths and forms:
• Ear Drops (Otic Solution): 0.02% flumethasone pivalate and 1% clioquinol in an 11 ml bottle.
• Topical Cream: 0.02% flumethasone pivalate and 3% clioquinol in a 30 gm tube.

The recommended dose for the ear drops is typically 2 to 3 drops twice daily. The cream is usually applied as a thin layer to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day.

Usage:

Locacorten-Vioform is a dual-action medication used to treat inflammatory conditions that are complicated by, or at risk of, bacterial or fungal infections. The ear drops are primarily prescribed for otitis externa (swimmer's ear) and fungal infections of the outer ear canal (otomycosis). The cream form is used to treat skin disorders such as seborrheic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and localized neurodermatitis when a secondary infection is suspected. By combining an anti-inflammatory with an antimicrobial, the medication provides rapid relief from itching, redness, and swelling while simultaneously eliminating the underlying germs causing the infection. It is important to note that if no improvement is seen within 1 week (7 days), the medication should be discontinued and the infection re-evaluated.

Mechanism of Action
Locacorten-Vioform works through the synergistic interaction of its two active components. Flumethasone pivalate is a moderately potent corticosteroid that provides anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and vasoconstrictive effects. It works at the cellular level to block the release of chemical mediators, such as histamines and prostaglandins, that trigger inflammation. Meanwhile, clioquinol acts as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with both bacteriostatic (stopping bacterial growth) and fungistatic (stopping fungal growth) properties. It targets gram-positive bacteria and various fungi by interfering with their metabolic processes. Together, these ingredients break the cycle of itching and scratching that often worsens infections, allowing the skin or ear canal to heal more quickly.

Use Locacorten-Vioform exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph. If using the ear drops, warm the bottle in your hands before use to avoid dizziness, and keep the head tilted for a few minutes after application.
