Description
A combo medication called Chloramphenicol, Beclomethasone & Clotrimazole Ear and eye Drops treat the pain and inflammation brought on by bacterial and fungal ear infections. When bacteria or fungus damage the middle or outer ear, it can result in an ear infection that causes discomfort and swelling. Otitis externa refers to inflammation of the external/outer ear canal, which extends from the eardrum to the outside of the head. At the same time, otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, the air-filled region below the eardrum.
Chloramphenicol, Beclomethasone & Clotrimazole Ear and eye Drops are a combination of antibiotic chloramphenicol, antifungal clotrimazole, steroid beclomethasone, and local anesthetic lidocaine. By stopping the manufacture of vital proteins needed for bacterial viability, chloramphenicol destroys the bacteria. By dissolving the fungal cell wall or protective layer, clotrimazole destroys the fungus. By inhibiting the chemical messengers that trigger inflammation, beclomethasone lowers inflammation. By preventing pain signals from the nerves from reaching the brain, lidocaine reduces the perception of pain. Ear infections are treated with CHLORAMPHENICOL, CLOTOMAZOLE, BECLOMETASONE, AND LIDOCAINE together.
