Otomed Ear Drops: 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 like swimmer’s ear (Otitis Externa).
Key Benefits and Uses
Otomed Ear Drops contain a combination of four active ingredients that work together to clear infections and stop pain:
- Fludrocortisone Acetate: A corticosteroid that reduces swelling and inflammation in the ear canal.
- Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulphate: Two antibiotics that eliminate bacteria causing the infection.
- Lidocaine HCl: A local anesthetic that provides rapid relief from "ear ache" or sharp ear pain.
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)
The typical dosage 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.
- Remain in this position for a few minutes to allow the medicine to reach the infection site.
- Consult a GoMed pharmacist for specific advice on your condition.

Do not use Otomed Ear Drops if you have a perforated (burst) eardrum, as this can lead to hearing damage (ototoxicity). This product should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional. If you experience discharge or worsening pain, stop use and see a doctor immediately.
