Product introduction

Milbeta Ear Drop belongs to a group of medicines called steroids. It is used to relieve swelling, itchiness, and redness of ears that may be caused due to infection. It reduces inflammation by stopping the release of substances that cause the inflammation.

Never use Milbeta Ear Drop if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. You should shake the bottle well before each use. You should not discontinue using the medicine unless your doctor tells you so. Stopping the medication before time may allow the bacteria to continue their growth, which may result in the return of the infection.

It may cause irritation in the ear and bitter taste in your mouth. However, these side effects are usually temporary and resolve with time. Do not use the medicine on your ear if you have a perforated or ruptured eardrum. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult with their doctors before using this medicine.

Benefits of Milbeta Ear Drop

In Ear infection

Milbeta Ear Drop helps relieve symptoms of ear infections such as redness, swelling, itching, and ear discharge. This medicine works by decreasing the production of certain chemicals that cause inflammation of the ear. This will make it easier for you to go about your daily activities. Use it as prescribed to get the most benefit. If you see no improvement even after a week, talk to your doctor.

In Treatment of Allergic conditions

Milbeta Ear Drop is used to treat many different inflammatories and allergic conditions including arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, and conditions that affect the skin, blood, eyes, lungs, stomach, and nervous system. It works by lowering your immune system’s response to these conditions and prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation.
