Product introduction

Otiflox Ear Drop is used to treat ear infections. It works by killing microorganisms that cause infection. It blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause redness, swelling, and itching. It also works by blocking pain signals to the brain to decrease the pain sensation.

Otiflox Ear Drop is for external use only. Never use drops if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use it in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor.  Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.

The medicine is generally safe to use with no common side effects. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.


Uses of Otiflox Ear Drop

Benefits of Otiflox Ear Drop

In Treatment of Ear infection

Otiflox Ear Drop is used to treat infections in the ear caused by bacteria and fungus. It stops the growth of microorganisms causing infection and helps relieve pain, swelling, redness, itching, or irritation in the ear. Make sure you complete the full course of treatment. This will ensure that the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning. Along with using ear drops, apply a warm compress on the affected ear several times a day to get relief from pain.

How to use Otiflox Ear Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the ear without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside ear.

How Otiflox Ear Drop works

Otiflox Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclometasone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. This treats your infection. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain to decrease the sensation of pain. This is how Otiflox Ear Drop treats ear infections.
