Otovel Information

Otovel at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The manufacturer of brand-name Otovel (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride/fluocinolone acetonide) supplied through Canada Pharmacy Online is Pediapharm Inc. It is available in several countries worldwide, including Canada.

The generic ciprofloxacin/fluocinolone acetonide otic solution is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Otovel is available in the following strength and form:
• Otic Solution: 0.3% ciprofloxacin/0.025% fluocinolone acetonide, in single-use 0.25 mL vials.

The usual dose is the contents of one single-use vial instilled into the affected ear twice daily for 7 days. Your doctor will confirm the exact dose and duration needed.

Usage:

Otovel is used to treat acute otitis media (middle ear infection) with otorrhea (drainage) in pediatric patients 6 months of age and older who have tympanostomy tubes. As with other antibacterial ear drops, it is effective against bacterial infections only and will not treat infections caused by viruses.

Mechanism of Action
Otovel's two active ingredients act together to fight infection and reduce inflammation. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that interferes with the enzymes bacteria rely on to replicate their DNA, stopping the bacteria from multiplying so the infection can resolve. Fluocinolone acetonide is a topical corticosteroid that reduces the inflammation, swelling, and pain associated with the ear infection, helping symptoms improve more quickly alongside the antibiotic effect.

Use Otovel exactly as your doctor prescribes, according to the patient information leaflet. Otovel is for use in the ear only; do not use it in the eyes or take it by mouth. Warm the vial in your hand for 1 to 2 minutes before use, tilt your head to the side, instill the entire contents of one vial into the ear canal, and gently pump the tragus (the small flap of cartilage in front of the ear canal) four times to help the medication reach the middle ear. After pumping the tragus, you must remain in the side-lying position for at least 1 minute to ensure the medication penetrates the middle ear through the tympanostomy tube.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before starting Otovel, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects of Otovel (ciprofloxacin/fluocinolone). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

Common side effects: These are common side effects of Otovel; other side effects are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects are persistent, worsening, or concerning, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Continued or new ear drainage
• Dizziness or balance disorders
• Ear discomfort or pain
• Itching or irritation around the ear
• Overgrowth of tissue around the ear tube

Serious Side Effects: Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Severe Allergic Reaction: Rash, itching, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat.
• Signs of a Worsening Infection: Spreading redness or swelling of the outer ear, or fever.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Otovel, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not use Otovel if:
• Allergies: Your child has a known hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin, other fluoroquinolone antibiotics, fluocinolone acetonide, or any of the solution's ingredients.
• Viral Infections of the Ear, Including Herpes Infections.

Tell your doctor about all of your child's medical conditions, past and present, before starting Otovel. This is crucial as certain conditions affect the drug's safety.
• A Fungal Infection of the Ear.

Drug Interactions:

Before using Otovel, discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete, up-to-date information, please refer to the highlights of prescribing information at https://www.otovel.com/pdfs/OTOVEL-USPI-Final.pdf.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all medications your child is taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements, as these may interact with Otovel. Avoid using other ear drops at the same time unless your doctor specifically directs you to, since combining topical ear products can change how well each one works.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

No adequate, well-controlled studies of Otovel have been conducted in nursing women. Ciprofloxacin and corticosteroids, as a class, appear in human milk after oral administration. However, it is not known whether ear administration of Otovel results in enough absorption to be detected in breast milk. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding before using this medication.

Use in Children:

Otovel is approved for children 6 months of age and older who have tympanostomy tubes and a middle ear infection with drainage. Younger children, particularly those under 3 years old, may be monitored more closely by your doctor during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Otovel at Canada Pharmacy Online

Why is Otovel more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Otovel, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
