The FDA has approved ciprofloxacin 6% otic
suspension (Otiprio – Otonomy) for single-dose
prophylaxis in children with bilateral otitis media
with effusion who are undergoing tympanostomy
tube placement. It is the first drug to be approved
for this indication in the US. Otic formulations
of the fluoroquinolone antibiotics ofloxacin
(Floxin Otic, and generics) and ciprofloxacin (plus
dexamethasone; Ciprodex) have been available for
years for treatment of acute otitis media in children
with tympanostomy tubes; an otic suspension
containing ciprofloxacin and fluocinolone acetonide
(Otovel) has recently been approved for the same
indication and will be reviewed in a future issue.
