About DERMOTIC and its cost

What is this medication? Dermotic is a prescription ear drop medication that contains the active ingredient fluocinolone acetonide, which is a corticosteroid. It is primarily used to treat a condition known as chronic eczematous external otitis, which is a long-term inflammatory skin condition affecting the outer ear canal. The medication works by reducing the redness, swelling, and itching that occur when the skin in the ear becomes irritated or undergoes an allergic reaction.

The medication is an oil-based solution that is applied directly into the ear canal as directed by a healthcare provider. It functions by suppressing the immune response that leads to inflammation, helping to manage symptoms of ear eczema. Patients are typically advised to use it for a specific duration and should avoid application if they have a perforated eardrum or certain types of untreated ear infections.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

What if I have a high-deductible plan?
