Suitable for continuation by primary care. Shared care agreements may be applicable. Secondary care only drugs Drugs only suitable for secondary care use and initiated by appropriate team, authorised independent prescribers or specialist. Primary care prescribers should not be asked to prescribe. Primary & Secondary Care Notes Secondary Care 12.1 Drugs acting on the ear Treatment of otitis externa Otis externa often responds to over the counter preparations. Ensure the correct administration of drops to the ear. Ear drops should be administered with the patient s head to one side. The top of the ear should then be pulled up (for an adult) or down (for a child) and the tragus (flap of skin and cartilage immediately in front of the ear canal) pushed in and out to force the drops down to the ear drum. If possible patients should lie with the affected ear uppermost for ten minutes after the canal has been filled. Use a simple steroid if no evidence of infection, as follows: Earcalm Spray Available over the counter (Acetic acid 2%) For use first line in primary care as per guidelines Betamethasone sodium phosphate 0.1% drops Vistamethasone is the most cost effective brand in primary care Betnovate scalp application Unlicensed use - useful in chronic otitis externa (1). See ENT antibiotic guidelines for acute trust and primary care If infection is suspected use the following: Drops Flumetasone pivalate 0.02% & clioquinol 1% drops Hydrocortisone 1% & gentamicin 0.3% (Gentisone HC drops) Hydrocortisone 1% & Neomycin (Otosporin drops) Dexamethasone 0.05% & framycetin 0.5% & gramicidin 0.005% (Sofradex drops) Ointment preparation Dexamethasone 0.1%, & neomycin 0.35% (Maxitrol ointment) Unlicensed use of eye ointment in the ear. Bipp paste 1.25cm x 200cm Glycerin and Icthammol solution 500ml. Please note Trimovate cream has been removed from formulary as it is unlicensed and prohibitively expensive (Mar 18).
2 Chapter 12 page number 2 Recurrent episodes with discharge are best managed with surgery. Consider referral. If ear discharge in presence of long standing perforation use the following: Ciprofloxacin 0.3% (Ciloxan ) eye drops Unlicensed use of eye drops in the ear - preferred when use is frequent and prolonged (1). Gentamicin injection Dexamethasone 0.1% & neomycin 3250 units/ml & glacial acetic acid 2% (Otomize spray) Second line in primary care for use where Earcalm has not been effective or is not suitable for an individual patient Dexamethasone 0.05% & framycetin 0.5% & gramicidin 0.005% (Sofradex drops) Clotrimazole 1% (Canesten ) Antifungal Otitis media Acute Otitis media - Many infections are caused by viruses, most uncomplicated cases resolve without antibacterial treatment, a simple analgesic may be sufficient.
