How it Works:
Gentariv Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Lidocaine, Beclometasone, Clotrimazole, and Gentamicin. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing the sensation of pain. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen, and itchy after an allergy or infection. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Quick Tips:

• 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.
• Do not use the medicine for a longer time without doctor consultation.
• Make sure not to use the open bottle more than 4 weeks.
