Otocin-D Eye/Ear Drops are used for managing the following conditions:

• Bacterial infections in the eyes

• Inflammation or infections of the eyelids, known as blepharitis

• Be careful not to touch the dropper tip to your eye, ear, or any other surface to avoid contamination.

• Do not use contact lenses during the treatment period if you are using this medication for an eye infection.

• For specific advice on how often and how many drops to instil, always consult your doctor.

• Check the package for further details.

Otocin-D Eye/Ear Drops are instilled topically.

Otocin-D Eye/Ear Drops consist of multiple active ingredients that work together to manage bacterial infections and reduce inflammation:

• Polymyxin B (5000 IU): This antibiotic kills bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes, leading to bacterial death. It is particularly effective against certain types of bacteria known as gram-negative bacteria.

• Chloramphenicol (4 mg): This is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth. It does this by preventing bacteria from making proteins, which they need to grow and reproduce.

• Dexamethasone (1 mg): This is a corticosteroid which reduces inflammation by blocking certain substances in the body that trigger inflammation.

• Phenylmercuric Nitrate (0.001 %): As a preservative, this ingredient prevents microbial contamination within the formulation itself, enhancing its safety.

• Store Otocin-D Eye/Ear Drops at room temperature not exceeding 25°C.

• Keep it in a tightly closed container.

• Shield the product from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children.

• If you're dealing with eye or ear infections, try to avoid swimming in public pools or using shared headphones, as they can harbour bacteria and potentially worsen your condition.

• Keep the affected eye or ear clean, but avoid any harsh cleaning methods. Gentle cleaning with warm water and a soft cloth can help manage your condition alongside using Otocin-D Eye/Ear Drops.
