Otomed Ear Drops 8ml: Effective Relief for Ear Infection and Pain
Otomed Ear Drops are a powerful triple-action medicine formulated to treat inflammatory and infectious conditions of the ear. Manufactured by Afrab-Chem Limited in Nigeria, these drops provide fast relief from the discomfort associated with ear infections such as swimmer’s ear (Otitis Externa) and Otitis Media.
Fast Relief for "Sharp" Ear Pain
Otomed is highly effective for providing "sharp relief" from ear aches. The formula combines four active ingredients to target pain, swelling, and bacteria:
- Lidocaine HCl (4.0%): A local anesthetic that provides rapid numbing relief for throbbing ear pain.
- Fludrocortisone Acetate (0.1%): A corticosteroid that significantly reduces swelling, redness, and inflammation in the ear canal.
- Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulphate: Two potent antibiotics that work together to eliminate the bacteria causing the infection.
This medication is typically used for Otitis Externa, Otitis Media, and allergic skin conditions within the ear canal.
How to Use Otomed Ear Drops (Dosage)
For the best results, follow the dosage recommended by your doctor. The typical usage for adults and children is 4 to 5 drops, applied 2 to 4 times daily into the affected ear.
- Tilt your head or lie down with the affected ear facing up.
- Apply the recommended number of drops.
- Stay in this position for a few minutes to ensure the medicine reaches the infection site.
- If you have questions about the application, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional advice.
Important Safety Warning: Perforated Eardrums
Do not use Otomed Ear Drops if you have a perforated (burst) eardrum. Using these drops when the eardrum is not intact can lead to serious hearing complications. If you notice any discharge, sudden hearing loss, or if the pain worsens, stop use immediately and consult a healthcare professional.
