Candibiotic Ab Ear Drops 5ml

Candibiotic AB Ear Drops are used for managing the following conditions:

• Bacterial infections of the ear
• Inflammation within the ear due to bacterial infections
• Acute otitis media in children
• Acute otitis externa
• Chronic suppurative otitis media in patients with perforated tympanic membranes

Here's how to use Candibiotic AB Ear Drops:

• Warm the drops by holding the bottle in your hand for 1-2 minutes. This can help prevent dizziness.
• Lie down with the affected ear facing upwards.
• Instil 4 drops into the affected ear twice daily for 7 days.
• Stay in this position for about 60 seconds. This allows the drops to fully penetrate into your ear canal.
• Always remember to consult your doctor for personalised medical advice.

Candibiotic AB Ear Drops is instilled topically.

Candibiotic AB Ear Drops contain two active ingredients, dexamethasone (0.1 %) and ofloxacin (0.3 %).

• Dexamethasone (0.1%): This corticosteroid works by blocking the production of substances in the body that cause inflammation. By doing so, it reduces swelling, itching, and redness in the ear.
• Ofloxacin (0.3%): This fluoroquinolone antibiotic fights against bacteria by inhibiting an enzyme called DNA-gyrase which is essential for bacterial DNA replication. By preventing bacterial DNA replication, it hinders bacterial cell division and growth.

The combined effect of dexamethasone and ofloxacin helps manage bacterial ear infections effectively while reducing associated symptoms.

• Store Candibiotic AB Ear Drops below 30°C in a cool, dry place.
• Keep away from direct light and moisture.
• Ensure it's out of reach and sight of children.
• Do not freeze the ear drops.
• Use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Try to maintain a clean environment to reduce the risk of ear infections.
• If you swim regularly, wear waterproof earplugs to protect your ears from waterborne bacteria.
• Avoid inserting foreign objects into your ears as this can lead to infections and damage.
• Remember to dry your ears gently but thoroughly after bathing or swimming.
