How it works
Otobiotic Plain 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 Otobiotic Plain Ear Drop treats ear infections.
Quick Tips
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Do not touch the tip to any surface or to your ear to avoid contamination. Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the medication.
