Medicinal Benefits of Otek-AC Plus Ear Drop

CHLORAMPHENICOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+LIDOCAINE is a combination of four drugs, namely: Chloramphenicol, Clotrimazole, Beclomethasone and Lidocaine. CHLORAMPHENICOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+LIDOCAINE is used to treat pain and inflammation associated with ear infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic with bacteriostatic activity. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of bacteria, thereby kills the bacteria. Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal with fungicidal and fungistatic properties. It works by breaking down the fungal cell wall, thereby kills the fungi. Beclomethasone is a topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroid which blocks the chemical messengers that cause inflammation, thereby reduces inflammation. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic that blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby decreasing the pain sensation. Together, CHLORAMPHENICOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE+BECLOMETASONE+LIDOCAINE eliminates bacterial, fungal growth and provides relief from pain, inflammation of the ear.
