Mycotic 5Ml Ear Drops

Mycotic 5Ml Ear Drops is a combination medicine used to treat pain and inflammation associated with ear infections caused by bacteria and fungi. An ear infection occurs when fungi or bacteria affect the middle or outer ear, leading to pain and inflammation. Infection of the middle ear (air-filled space behind the eardrum) is known as otitis media whereas the inflammation of the external/outer ear canal that runs from the eardrum to the outside of the head is known as otitis externa.

Chloramphenicol kills the bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of bacteria.
