How to use Otichek 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 Otichek Ear Drop works

Otichek Ear Drop is a combination of three medicines: Ofloxacin, Beclometasone and Clotrimazole which treat ear infections. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
