User Reviews for fluocinolone acetonide oil otic (ear)

After using this drops for 1 week in my left ear I started having tinnitus in this ear very high pitch. It is driving me crazy. I think it is a side effect of this drops.

Thank God a Doctor prescribed this. Lost about 75% hearing almost overnight in March 2023. 62 years old. Always had very bad itchy ears. I think I caused some swelling while itchy my ears and loss some hearing because of it. Had MRI for loss of hearing because it was sudden. They couldnt find anything wrong. Started these drops 30 days ago and the itching is gone. Gone within the first day. Hearing starting to get better.

My ears were always itchy. I had to put peroxide in them multiple times a day. And constantly dig with q tips they were bleeding, sore. But the itchy wouldn't stop went to the ent got them. One dose of 5 drops and it last for a couple months. I love it. Recommend this a million times over

When using at bedtime I wake up during night with dry mouth. Could drops be causing problem or should it be taken earlier in day?

I’ve been using this medication for itching in the inner ear for over 10 years. I use it on an as needed basis. Apply 3 drops & the itching stops within minutes. 100% effective every time.

I have taken this medicine for 2 days. I don’t know how but I feel dizziness as well as vertigo effects. Though I had head injury 8 years back and had a severe vertigo problem but it was almost cured. I guess it does have good effects in itchy ness in ear. I am not sure I should continue this medicine.

My seasonal allergies made my ears itch to the point where I had redness, flakes, and sometimes bleeding. My ENT Dr. prescribed this med and using it as drops in the canal made me dizzy, but swabbing with a q tip dipped in the medication eliminated that problem. Works great! Only need to use it once a week during allergy season.

I cannot believe I went for two years with what felt like ants in my ear. The doctor prescribed this. Although I doubted it would work, nothing else had, I was amazed. Immediate relief. I use it for occasional flare-ups and it stops it immediately.

Gave fast relief of pain and itching. Now I use it about once a week. First thing I have had that worked. May accentuate tinnitus.

I was suffering from rash for 10 months and this was the only thing that brought me relief. The relief was such that I overused it and unfortunately it thinned my skin considerable. I ended up finding out that was causing my rash was my blood pressure medication, so I am cured now and no longer need Fluocinolone. Would I use it again? Yes. Would I be more carefully? You bet it. way....way more careful.

With my prescription coverage, it only cost $10.00. I am so happy my Dr. prescribed this. I had chronic ear itching, to the point that there were days I wanted to rip out my ear. Since using this (two) days, my itching has subsided. I feel so much relief!

What my concern is and I haven't been able to find supporting documentation...but I also suffer from Tinnitus. During a period when my ear eczema wasn't "prevalent," and I wasn't using the drops, my "ringing" seemed to be softer. After a recent flare up and my renewed use of the oil, my Tinnitus returned with a vengeance. Does ANYONE know if tinnitus is a possible side-effect of this oil? I haven't been able to find that listed anywhere.

This medication has been a lifesaver for me - the same as most other posts, out of control, crazy ear itchiness. I would always keep a Qtip, pen cover or bobby pin around just so I could itch my ear - it was insane. Within a week of using these drops, the itchiness subsided, now I use it bi-weekly as a precaution. It didn't work effectively until I started putting the oil on a Qtip and inserting it in my outer ear that way - worked miracles!!

I haven't used it yet, but I got a good price from GoodRx online. Only $23!

my daily life is so much happier with this treatment! I have struggled with itchy ears for years, and finally decided to do something about it! As far as i can tell, no side effects and it really works for me. I have not used a q-tip or scratched, except two times early on in my sleep! I feel like a cure happened! Thanks to my ENT dr!

First prescription three years ago cost me $33, next prescription was over $200 and I cannot afford it.

great stuff. but it cost me 95 dollars and that was after humana paid over half the cost.

I have suffered with external ear eczema for over 20 years. I had tried cortisone and many other ear drops and ointments. Nothing worked. The ear canal would crack, bleed, itch, ooze. Nothing helped very much. I started this oil a few years ago. My ear was much better a few days after starting these drops and stopped cracking and bleeding within a week. Now I use it once a week and have no problems.

I absolutely hate putting drops into my ears, but the results have been well worth it. Been using this med only a day and I am feeling a difference in the severe psoriasis I have had in my ear canal for years. Wish I had done this sooner. My ears were so inflamed they would ooze and bleed I was in such discomfort. It was very expensive, but worth every penny.
