Otogesic Ear Drops 10ml

• Otogesic Ear Drops are used to relieve ear pain, swelling, and infections like otitis media and otitis externa. They help reduce inflammation and discomfort, providing quick relief. Use as directed by a doctor for effective results.
• Swimmer's ear (Otitis externa): These ear drops are effective in managing the symptoms of swimmer's ear, a common condition caused by water exposure in the ear canal, leading to infection and irritation.
• Ear itching: They can provide relief from itching in the ear, often associated with skin conditions or minor irritations.
• Ear discomfort due to wax buildup: This medication may be used to ease discomfort caused by excessive earwax accumulation, which can lead to a plugged or full sensation in the ear.

• Clean your hands thoroughly before using the ear drops.
• Tilt your head to the side, with the affected ear facing upwards.
• Gently pull the earlobe to straighten the ear canal.
• Hold the dropper close to the ear canal without touching it.
• Squeeze the dropper to release the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal.
• Keep your head tilted for a few minutes to allow the drops to penetrate the ear.
• Repeat the process for the other ear if necessary.

Otogesic Ear Drops are instilled topically in the ear.

The components of Otogesic Ear Drops are as follows:

• 4-Carboxymethylamino-4-Aminodiphenyl Sulphone (0.84% W/W): This compound likely acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, helping to reduce inflammation within the ear canal. Inflammation can lead to pain and discomfort, and mitigating this process helps reduce these symptoms.
• Dibucaine (1.10% W/W): Dibucaine is a local anaesthetic that works by blocking nerve signals. This medication functions as a numbing agent, temporarily reducing the sensation of pain in the ear. By numbing the sensitive tissues, it provides fast and effective pain relief.
• Dihydroxy Methyl Carbamide (0.42% W/W): Dihydroxy methyl carbamide likely serves as a moisturising agent within the ear drops. The ear canal can sometimes become dry or irritated, leading to discomfort. This component helps maintain moisture levels, soothe dryness, and improve overall comfort.

• Store this medicine at room temperature (15-25ºC).
• Protect it from light and moisture.
• Keep it away from children.
• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date has passed.

• Keep the affected ear clean and dry.
• Avoid swimming or submerging the ear in water until your doctor advises it's safe to do so.
• If experiencing ear pain, try to keep your head elevated while resting or sleeping.
• Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal, such as cotton swabs or fingers, to prevent further irritation.
• If you have a known allergy to any ingredients in this medication, avoid using them and inform your doctor immediately.
• Be cautious when using any new medications or healthcare products, and check for potential allergens.
• If you notice a persistent change in hearing or increased sensitivity in the ear, consult your doctor for a thorough evaluation.
