1. What is Aceoto Plus and what is it used for

Aceoto Plus is an otic solution (for the ear).

Contains:

Ciprofloxacin, which belongs to the group of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones.

Ciprofloxacin acts by eliminating bacteria that cause infections,

and, fluocinolone acetate, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties for the treatment of inflammation and pain.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective for treating viral infections such as the flu or a cold.

It is important that you follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of medications through the drain or in the trash.

Aceoto Plus is an ear drop solution. It is used in adults and children 6 months of age and older to treat acute external otitis (infection of the outer ear) and acute otitis media (infection of the middle ear) with tympanostomy tubes (drainage tubes) of bacterial origin.

You should consult a doctor if you worsen or do not improve after completing treatment.

3. How to use Aceoto Plus

Aceoto Plus is intended to be administered in the ear only (otic use). Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose in adults and children is 6 to 8 drops twice a day in the affected ear for 7 days.

Only administer Aceoto Plus in both ears if your doctor recommends it.

Your doctor will indicate the duration of treatment with Aceoto Plus. To ensure that the infection does not recur, do not interrupt treatment prematurely, even if you notice improvement in the ear (s).

Administration Instructions

The person administering Aceoto Plus must wash their hands beforehand.

	Warm the otic drops by holding the bottle in your hands for several minutes, to avoid dizziness that may result from applying a cold solution to the ear.
	Incline your head to one side so that the affected ear is facing upwards.
	Let the drops fall into the affected ear canal with the help of the dropper. Avoid contact between the dropper and the ear or fingers to prevent possible contamination.
	After instillation of the dropsfollow the instructions that are collected belowaccording to the specific ear infection of the patient. For patients with middle ear infection with drainage tubes: While the patient remains lying on their side, the person administering Aceoto Plus must gently press the skin fold located at the beginning of the auditory canal (figure 4a)4 timeswith a pumping motion. This will allow the drops to cross the eardrum and reach the middle ear. For patients with external ear infection: While the patient remains lying on their side, the person administering Aceoto Plus must gently pull the earlobe forward and backward (figure 4b). This will allow the drops to penetrate the auditory canal.

Keep your head inclined to the side of the affected ear for approximately 1 minute to allow the medication to enter the inner ear.

Repeat the procedure, if necessary, in the other ear.

It is essential to follow these instructions to achieve a good outcome with this medication in your ear. Once the medication has been administered in the ear, keeping your head in a vertical position or moving your head too quickly may cause you to lose part of the administered medication, as the drops may fall down your face and not penetrate the inner part of the auditory canal.

Keep the bottle until the end of treatment. Do not store it for future use.

No symptoms related to overdose are known. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, inform your doctor or pharmacist or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you forgot to use Aceoto Plus

Do not use a double dose to compensate for the missed doses. Simply continue with your next dose.

If you interrupt treatment with Aceoto Plus

Do not stop using Aceoto Plus without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. It is very important to use these ear drops for the time indicated by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve. If you stop using this medication prematurely, the infection may not disappear and symptoms may recur or worsen. Resistance to antibiotics may also occur.
