Drep-C Ear Drop

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Drep-C Ear Drop is a medicine used in the treatment of fungal infections in the ear. It works by killing and inhibiting the growth of fungi in the ear. This relieves discomfort, itching, irritation, and pain in the ear.

Drep-C Ear Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. You can help the medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry, and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.

It may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness immediately following application. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, however, let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask the advice of your doctor before using the medicine.

How Drep-C Ear Drop works

Drep-C Ear Drop is a combination of two medicines: Lidocaine and Clotrimazole, which treats ear infections.

Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi in the ear by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

  • Put drops in the ear without touching the dropper to the ear. Stay on the side for 2 minutes or put a cotton plug in the ear.
  • Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the drop in these areas.
  • Do not try to clean inside your ear with cotton buds. If you stick buds or other objects into your ear, they can further damage your ear. Just wipe the outside of your ear with a clean cloth or tissue if any discharge appears.
  • Do not use the medicine for a longer time without doctor consultation.
  • Make sure not to use the open bottle more than 4 weeks.
