⏳ Availability & generic status
We did not find an FDA-approved generic match for this exact strength, form and route. Patent/protection dates below may affect future generic timing.
Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.
🛈 What do these terms mean?
- Patent
- Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
- Substance patent
- Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
- Formulation (product) patent
- Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
- Method-of-use patent
- A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
- Skinny label
- A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
- Exclusivity
- FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
- Paragraph IV
- A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
- RLD / RS
- Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
- TE / AB rating
- FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
- LOE (loss of exclusivity)
- The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.
Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION CLOTIC is for otic use only. ( 2 ) Instill the contents of one single-dose CLOTIC vial into the affected ear canal twice daily, morning and evening, preferably 12 hours apart for 14 consecutive days.

2.1Recommended Dosage and Administration CLOTIC is for otic use only. Instill the contents of one single-dose CLOTIC vial into the affected ear canal twice daily morning and evening, preferably 12 hours apart, for 14 consecutive days.
2.2Preparation and Administration Instructions Warm the solution by holding the vial in the hand for 1 to 2 minutes. This is to avoid dizziness which may result from the instillation of a cold solution into the ear canal. The patient should lie with the affected ear upward, and then instill the medication.
Gently pull the outer ear lobe upward and outward. This will allow the ear drops to flow down into the ear canal. Maintain this position for 1 minute after the drug administration.
Repeat, if necessary, for the opposite ear [see Instructions for Use ].

🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥ 1 patient were headache, application site pain, tinnitus, tympanic membrane perforation, and paresthesia. ( 6 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Carwin Pharmaceutical Associates, LLC at phone 1-844-700-5011 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .
6.1Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. In two randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trials, 393 adult patients with otomycosis and intact tympanic membranes were treated with CLOTIC or placebo (Trial 1 and Trial 2) twice daily for a median duration of 14 days. There were 261 patients who received at least one dose of CLOTIC and 132 patients received at least one dose of placebo.
These patients had a mean age of 51 years (range 19 to 89 years); 55% were male, 87% were White, and 26% were Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation Treatment discontinuation due to an adverse reaction occurred in 1% (3/261) of patients receiving CLOTIC and 3% (4/132) of patients receiving placebo. Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of CLOTIC were application site pain in two patients and tympanic membrane perforation in one patient.
Most Common Adverse Reactions Selected adverse reactions that occurred in 1 or more patients receiving CLOTIC are presented in Table 1.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Systemic absorption of clotrimazole following topical administration appears to be minimal, and maternal use of CLOTIC is not expected to result in fetal exposure to the drug. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defects, loss, and other adverse outcomes. The background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2% to 4% and of miscarriage is 15% to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Systemic absorption following topical administration of CLOTIC appears to be minimal, and breastfeeding is not expected to result in exposure of the child to CLOTIC. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for CLOTIC and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from CLOTIC or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of CLOTIC in pediatric patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Of the total number of patients with otomycosis who received CLOTIC in Trial 1 and Trial 2 (n=261), 78 (30%) were 65 years of age and older, while 23 (9%) were 75 years of age and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years of age and older and younger adult patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger adult patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Clotrimazole is an azole antifungal agent [see Microbiology (12.4) ] .
12.2Pharmacodynamics Clotrimazole exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are unknown.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Systemic absorption following topical administration of CLOTIC is anticipated to be minimal. The plasma concentrations of clotrimazole were not measured following otic installation of 1.7 mg (0.17 mL) clotrimazole 1% solution twice daily.
12.4Microbiology Mechanism of Action Clotrimazole, an azole antifungal agent, inhibits the cytochrome P450 dependent enzyme lanosterol 14-α-demethylase encoded by Erg11 in yeasts and Cyp51A in molds. Erg11/Cyp51A is necessary for the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, which is an essential sterol component of fungal cytoplasmic membrane. Disruption in ergosterol biosynthesis causes damage to the cell membrane by increasing its permeability, resulting in cell lysis and death.
Clotrimazole inhibition of lanosterol 14-α-demethylase also leads to an accumulation of 14-α-methylsterols; the methylsterols may affect the electron transport system, thereby inhibiting growth of fungi. Resistance Resistance to azoles, including clotrimazole, has been associated with decreased affinity for the target enzyme (Erg11 in Candida spp. and Cyp51A in Aspergillus spp.), increase in target copy number, alteration of the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway and overexpression of efflux pumps. Antimicrobial Activity CLOTIC has been shown to be active against most isolates of the following microorganisms both in vitro and in clinical infections [see Indications and Usage (1) ] : Fungal Aspergillus spp.
Candida spp.
