ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS

Doctors prescribe ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS to manage specific conditions affecting the ear canal. The primary uses include:

• Outer ear infections (Otitis Externa): ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS helps clear bacterial infections in the outer ear canal, reducing painful swelling, redness, and discharge.
• Ear pain and itching: ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS provides temporary relief from the sharp, throbbing, or dull pain and persistent itching associated with ear canal inflammation.

ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS offers targeted relief that helps you recover comfortably from ear discomfort. The main benefits include:

• Dual-action relief: It contains two active ingredients that work together to fight the underlying bacterial infection while simultaneously numbing the sensitive ear tissues to relieve pain.
• Fast-acting comfort: The local anesthetic component starts working within minutes of application, helping to dull sharp ear pain so you can rest and go about your daily activities.
• Local, targeted action: Because the drops are applied directly to the site of infection, the medication delivers maximum therapeutic effect right where it is needed with minimal absorption into the rest of the body.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Lie down with the affected ear facing upwards. Hold the dropper over the ear and instil the advised number of drops. Continue to lie on your side for two minutes to allow the drops to reach the base of the ear canal. Repeat the procedure for the other ear if needed.
• Avoid contamination by not touching the dropper to the ear or surrounding areas.

• Keep your ears dry: Avoid getting water in your ears while the infection is healing. Wear a shower cap or use waterproof earplugs while bathing.
• Avoid swimming: Do not go swimming, diving, or participate in other water sports until your doctor confirms that your infection has completely cleared.
• Do not insert objects: Never use cotton swabs, hairpins, or fingers to scratch or clean your ear canal, as this can worsen irritation, push bacteria deeper, or damage your eardrum.
• Avoid irritating chemicals: Keep hair sprays, shampoos, and hair dyes away from your ears during treatment, as these products can irritate the sensitive ear lining.

• Inspect before use: Always inspect the solution before applying; do not use ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS if the liquid has changed color, looks cloudy, or contains visible particles.
• Avoid use with a perforated eardrum: Do not use these ear drops if you suspect or know you have a torn (perforated) eardrum, as this can cause severe pain or inner ear damage.
• Prevent contamination: Never prevent contamination, never touch the dropper tip to your ear, fingers, or any other surface.
• Use only for the prescribed duration: Do not use these drops for longer than the prescribed duration, as prolonged use can lead to secondary infections.
• Do not share the medication: Never share your bottle of ENTEROMYCETIN OTIC 5% EAR DROPS with anyone else, even if they have identical symptoms, as this can spread the infection.
• Avoid use in children under 2 years unless specifically prescribed: Benzocaine-containing products may rarely cause a serious blood disorder called methemoglobinaemia, particularly in infants and very young children.
