About Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml

Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml is a specialised ear drop used to treat painful ear infections that involve redness, swelling, and itching. It is prescribed when an ear infection is caused by both bacteria and fungi, helping to clear the infection while calming uncomfortable symptoms.

For the best results, you must use Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml consistently at the exact times recommended by your doctor. Since these are ear drops, food intake does not affect how they work, but keeping your ears completely dry during treatment will help the infection heal faster.
While using Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml, you might experience mild, temporary burning or irritation in the ear canal. If you notice severe burning, skin rash, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives or breathing difficulty, stop using the drops and consult your doctor immediately.

Do not use Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml if you have a ruptured eardrum or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. It is also important to tell your doctor if you have viral ear infections, such as shingles or chickenpox affecting the ear, before starting this treatment.

Since these ear drops act locally in the ear canal, they are unlikely to interact with oral medications or alcohol, but you should still inform your pharmacist of all products you use. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine to ensure it is safe for you.
 

Uses of Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml

Your doctor may prescribe Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml to help manage the following conditions:

  • Bacterial ear infections: Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml contains an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria causing painful outer or middle ear infections.
  • Fungal ear infections: It targets and destroys fungi that can thrive in a warm, moist ear canal, especially after prolonged moisture exposure.
  • Inflammatory ear conditions: It helps reduce severe swelling, itching, redness, and discomfort in the ear canal associated with infections or allergies.

Key Benefits

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s recommendations on the dosage and timing of this medication to achieve optimal results.
  • Lie down with the affected ear facing upwards. Hold the dropper over the ear and instil the advised number of drops into the ear. 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.
  • Do not touch the dropper to the ear or surrounding areas to avoid contamination.
  • When not in use, keep the bottle closed tightly and upright.

How Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml Works

Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml contains beclomethasone, clotrimazole, and neomycin. It works through a combination of three active ingredients that target different aspects of an ear infection. The first active component, beclomethasone, is a corticosteroid. It works by blocking the chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, swelling, and itching. It calms the inflammation in your ear canal. The second active component, clotrimazole, is an antifungal agent. It stops the growth of fungi by damaging their protective outer covering, effectively clearing fungal infections. The third active component, neomycin, is an antibiotic. It stops bacteria from producing the essential proteins they need to survive, which kills the bacteria causing the infection. Together, these three active components help reduce inflammation while treating fungal and bacterial ear infections.

  • Do not insert objects into your ear: Avoid using cotton swabs, bobby pins, or fingers to scratch or clean your ears, as this can push infections deeper or scratch the delicate ear canal.
  • Dry your ears gently: After bathing, gently pat the outer ear dry with a clean, soft towel. You can tilt your head to the side to help water drain out naturally.
  • Avoid irritants: Stay away from hairsprays, hair dyes, or perfumes entering your ears while you have an active infection.
