Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml is used to treat ear infections. An ear infection occurs when microbes like bacteria and fungi infect the outer and middle ear (air-filled space behind the eardrum). Symptoms include ear pain, fever, irritability, drainage of fluid from the ear, and hearing loss.
Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml contains Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Beclomethasone (corticosteroid). Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclomethasone blocks prostaglandins (chemical messenger) production, which makes the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It prevents inflammation and allergy.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose based on your condition. Ocan-AF Ear Drop 5 ml is for otic (ear) use only.
