About Flac Otic Oil

What is this medication? Flac Otic Oil is a prescription corticosteroid medication primarily used to treat chronic eczematous external otitis, which is a long-term inflammatory condition affecting the outer ear canal. The active ingredient, fluocinolone acetonide, works by reducing the production of chemicals in the body that cause inflammation. This helps to relieve common symptoms associated with ear eczema, such as persistent itching, redness, and swelling of the skin inside the ear canal. This medication is specifically designed for topical application in the ear and is often prescribed when milder treatments have not provided sufficient relief. Because it is an oil-based solution, it helps to soothe and protect the sensitive skin of the ear canal while delivering the medication. It should only be used as directed by a healthcare professional, and it is important to ensure the eardrum is intact before starting treatment to avoid potential complications or damage to the inner ear.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Flac Otic Oil. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Nov 19, 2024

Indications and usage

INDICATION AND USAGE Fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% is a low to medium potency corticosteroid indicated for the treatment of chronic eczematous external otitis in adults and pediatric patients 2 years and older.

Dosage and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For the treatment of chronic eczematous external otitis, using the supplied ear-dropper, apply 5 drops of fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% into the affected ear. To apply, tilt head to one side so that the ear is facing up. Then gently pull the ear lobe backward and upward and apply 5 drops of fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% into the ear. Keep head tilted for about a minute to allow fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% to penetrate lower into the ear canal. Gently pat excess material dripping out of the ear using a clean cotton ball. Follow these instructions twice each day for 7 to 14 days.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS Fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% is contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation. This product contains refined peanut oil NF (See PRECAUTIONS ).

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS The following local adverse reactions have been reported infrequently with topical corticosteroids. They may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings, especially with higher potency corticosteroids. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: burning, itching, irritation, dryness, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, secondary infection, skin atrophy, striae, and miliaria. One peanut sensitive child experienced a flare of his atopic dermatitis after 5 days of twice daily treatment with fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01%.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy Teratogenic effects Pregnancy category C Corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. Some corticosteroids have been shown to be teratogenic after dermal application in laboratory animals. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women on teratogenic effects from fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01%. Therefore, fluocinolone acetonide oil, 0.01% should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
