Description
Gentamicin, Clotrimazole, Lignocaine HCl & Beclomethasone Dipropionate Ear Drops are a multi-action otic formulation used to treat external ear infections that involve bacteria, fungi, pain, and inflammation. Each component plays a role in eliminating infection, reducing inflammation, and relieving symptoms like itching and pain.
Mechanism of Action:
- Gentamicin: A bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis in a wide range of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria.
- Clotrimazole: Antifungal agent that disrupts fungal cell membrane integrity by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, mainly effective against Candida and dermatophytes.
- Beclomethasone Dipropionate: A corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, itching, and swelling by suppressing immune response locally.
- Lignocaine HCl: A fast-acting local anesthetic that numbs the ear canal and relieves pain or discomfort.
Together, they provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial coverage, reduce inflammation, and relieve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and itching.
Uses: These ear drops are used to treat:
- Otitis externa (bacterial or fungal outer ear infections)
- Mixed infections involving both bacteria and fungi
- Itching, inflammation, and pain in the ear canal
- Post-operative or post-instrumentation ear infections
- Conditions involving inflammation, swelling, and discharge
