9. Quinoline mix
You are allergic to clioquinol or chlorquinaldol. They are antiseptic agents used mainly
on the skin for diseases like eczema, psoriasis and ear problems. They are often
combined with steroids, which may mask the allergic response. It is occasionally given
systemically, for example to treat diarrhoea. Inform your doctor that you are allergic to it
so he or she can avoid prescribing products containing it e.g.
Locorten-Vioform ear drops
Vioform and Vioform HC
Synalar C
Betnovate C
Locoid C
Quinaband bandage
Sterosan
Steroxin
Avoid the related drugs iodoquinol (Diodoquin, Diiodohydroxyquin),
chlorhydroxyquinoline (Quinolor).
