Otocin Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Lidocaine, Beclometasone, Clotrimazole, and Chloramphenicol. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing pain sensation. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen, and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins.

Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor Finish the prescribed dose even if you feel better as stopping the treatment earlier may reverse the symptoms Do not touch the tip of the dropper or of your ear to prevent contamination Make sure not to use the open bottle for more than 4 weeks
