Otiflox New Ear Drops 5ml

Otiflox New Ear Drops are used for managing the following conditions:

• Acute otitis externa, a short-term inflammation or infection of the external ear canal
• Chronic otitis externa, a long-standing infection or inflammation in the outer part of the ear
• Otomycosis, a fungal infection in the ear

To ensure that Otiflox New Ear Drops work effectively, follow these instructions:

• Make sure your hands are clean before using these ear drops.
• Lie down or tilt your head so that the affected ear faces upwards.
• Pull your earlobe gently to straighten the ear canal and facilitate better medicine penetration.
• Carefully instil the prescribed number of drops into your ear.
• Remain in this position for a couple of minutes to allow the medicine to permeate your ear canal.
• If advised by your doctor, repeat this procedure for your other ear.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip with your hands or ears to prevent contamination. Always consult your doctor for specific advice regarding use.

Otiflox New Ear Drops are applied directly into the ear.

Otiflox New Ear Drops contains four active ingredients:

• Neomycin (0.5%): An antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. It manages bacterial infections in the ear.
• Beclomethasone (0.025%): A corticosteroid that reduces swelling, redness and itching in the ear canal by controlling the release of inflammation-causing substances.
• Clotrimazole (1%): An antifungal agent that works by disrupting fungal cell membranes. It manages fungal infections in the ear.
• Lignocaine (2%): A local anaesthetic that numbs the area of application by blocking nerve signals in your body. It provides relief from ear pain and discomfort associated with these infections.

• Keep Otiflox New Ear Drops stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• The optimal storage temperature should not exceed 30°C.
• Ensure the bottle is always tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination.
• Keep this medicine out of reach of children for safety.
• Always remember to check the expiry date before using the ear drops.

• Regularly clean your ears gently with a damp cloth and avoid inserting anything into your ear canal. This can help prevent further infections.
• Adopt a balanced diet rich in vitamins C and A, which boost immunity and help your body fight infections more efficiently. Include foods such as citrus fruits, bell peppers, spinach, carrots, and sweet potatoes in your meals.
