Which medication is NOT an alternative treatment for fungal otitis externa?

Ciprofloxacin is primarily an antibiotic that is effective against bacterial infections rather than fungal infections. While it can be used in the treatment of bacterial otitis externa, it does not have antifungal properties, which makes it an inappropriate choice for treating fungal otitis externa. The other medications listed, such as Flumetasone + clioquinol, Clotrimazole, and the combination of Triamcinolone/neomycin/gramicidin/nystatin, have antifungal capabilities and can be used to address fungal infections of the ear. Hence, ciprofloxacin does not fit within the category of alternative treatments for fungal otitis externa.
