Indications
Locacorten Vioform eardrops are anti-infective medicine used to treat external ear infection and inflammation.
The eardrop solution combines clioquinol, an anti-infective, with flumethasone, a topical corticosteroid. The clioquinol works to kill germs and bacteria that cause your infection while flumethasone helps relieve symptoms including inflammation, itching, and redness. These actions combined allow Locacorten Vioform eardrops to treat outer ear infections that are inflamed.
