Precautions
This medication is a solution that contains specific antibiotic ingredients and corticosteroids. It should not be used in patients who are allergic to fluocinolone, ciprofloxacin, or other quinolone antibiotics, or in patients with viral external ear infections such as chickenpox and herpes simplex. It should be used with caution in patients with suspected or confirmed perforation of the tympanic membrane, as safety and efficacy have not been sufficiently verified.

The safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in patients with otitis media, and if urticaria or allergic reactions occur, use should be discontinued immediately. This medication should not be ingested or injected; during application, care should be taken to avoid contamination by preventing the dropper from touching the ear or fingers. Do not use in conjunction with other otic solutions; prolonged use may exacerbate fungal infections, so further examination is required if symptoms do not improve after one week. Quinolone ingredients have been shown to cause joint damage in animals, so use in children is recommended only for those 7 years of age and older, and pregnant or lactating women should use it cautiously under a physician's direction. During the use of this medication, avoid exposure to ultraviolet light or strong light, and if vision becomes blurred or eye problems occur, seek ophthalmic treatment immediately.
