Product introduction

Otolin Ear Drop is for external use only. Never use drops if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use it in the dose and duration suggested by the doctor.  Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better.


The most common side effects of Otolin Ear Drop include irritation, a burning feeling, and a stinging sensation in the ear. These effects usually occur at the site of application and are generally mild and temporary. They often settle as the ear adjusts to the medicine. If the discomfort persists, worsens, or causes concern, a doctor should be consulted.


It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Uses of Otolin Ear Drop

Benefits of Otolin Ear Drop

Treatment of Ear infection
Otolin Ear Drop is used to treat infections in the ear caused by bacteria and fungus.

Along with using ear drops, apply a warm compress on the affected ear several times a day to get relief from pain.

How to use Otolin 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 Otolin Ear Drop works

Otolin Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclometasone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane. This treats your infection. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. It works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain to decrease the sensation of pain. This is how Otolin Ear Drop treats ear infections.

Quick tips

  • Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better.
  • Do not touch the tip to any surface, or to your ear, to avoid contamination.
  • Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the medication.

Frequently asked questions

Otolin Ear Drop is used to treat ear infections where there may be both bacteria and fungus, along with swelling and pain in the ear canal. They are commonly prescribed for conditions like otitis externa, when the ear canal is red, swollen, painful, and sometimes oozing.<br>
The lidocaine in Otolin Ear Drop works locally on the ear canal to numb the area, which can ease the sharp, throbbing pain within a short time after use. While lidocaine gives quick comfort, the antibiotic, antifungal, and steroid components in Otolin Ear Drop work over days to clear the infection and reduce inflammation.<br>
Otolin Ear Drop is mainly meant for infections of the outer ear canal, not for ear infections behind the eardrum (middle ear). Whether they can be used when there is a hole in the eardrum or after ear surgery must be decided by an ENT specialist, because certain ingredients (like neomycin) in Otolin Ear Drop can be harmful if they reach the middle or inner ear.<br>
Because Otolin Ear Drop contains a steroid and a strong antibiotic, using them longer than advised can increase the risk of resistant germs, thinning of the ear canal skin, or a change in the normal balance of bacteria and fungus in the ear. That is why doctors usually prescribe them for a limited number of days and ask for a review if symptoms continue.<br>
Yes, Otolin Ear Drop is often chosen when itching is intense because it treats both inflammation and fungal or bacterial overgrowth, which are common causes of itchy ear canals. As the infection and swelling settle, the itching usually reduces significantly.<br>
You should only use Otolin Ear Drop in the ear or ears that your doctor has asked you to treat. Putting this medicine into a healthy ear “just in case” can irritate the canal and disturb its normal protective flora.<br>
After a few days of using Otolin Ear Drop, if pain stays the same, gets worse, or if you develop new symptoms like dizziness, ringing, or a feeling of blocked hearing, you should contact your doctor or ENT specialist promptly. You may need a re‑examination to check the eardrum, clean the ear canal, or change to a different treatment.<br>
