Product introduction

Candid Ear Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. You can help the medicine work better by keeping the affected areas clean, making sure they are dry, and washing your hands before and after treating the infection.

It may cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness immediately following application. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, however, let your doctor know if you are using any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask the advice of your doctor before using the medicine.

Benefits of Candid Ear Drop

Treatment of Fungal infections
Candid Ear Drop is used to treat infections in the ear caused by fungus. It kills and stops the growth of fungus, thereby clearing the infection. It also reduces pain, itching, redness and swelling in the ear caused by infection. Make sure you complete the full dose your doctor has prescribed. This will ensure that the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning. To get relief from discomfort in the ear, apply warm compress on the affected ear several times in a day.

How to use Candid Ear Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the ear without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside ear.

How Candid Ear Drop works

Candid Ear Drop is a combination of two medicines: Lidocaine and Clotrimazole, which treats ear infections. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain, thereby decreasing pain sensation in the ear. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi in the ear by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Quick tips

Candid Ear Drop is used to ease pain, swelling associated with ear infections.
Put drops in the ear without touching the dropper to the ear. Stay on the side for 2 minutes or put a cotton plug in the ear.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the drop in these areas.
Do not try to clean inside your ear with cotton buds. If you stick buds or other objects into your ear, they can further damage your ear. Just wipe the outside of your ear with a clean cloth or tissue if any discharge appears.
Do not use the medicine for a longer time without doctor consultation.
Make sure not to use the open bottle more than 4 weeks.
