Clotrimazole Ear Drops with Lignocaine | Antifungal Ear Drops - Product Description

Uses of Clotrimazole Ear Drops

The primary use of clotrimazole ear drops is the treatment of fungal infections of the ear canal. These drops are widely recommended by healthcare professionals for patients who experience persistent ear itching, discharge, or pain caused by fungal growth.

Clotrimazole ear drops are used for:

• Otomycosis (fungal infection of the ear)
• Fungal otitis externa
• Ear itching and irritation caused by fungal overgrowth
• Secondary fungal infections following antibiotic ear drop use
• Ear canal inflammation & itching

• Ear infections with suspected or confirmed fungal involvement

What Is Clotrimazole Used For?

Many patients ask, what is clotrimazole used for in ear care. Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent that works by stopping the growth of fungi responsible for infection. In ear formulations, it helps eliminate fungal cells, prevents further spread, and reduces symptoms like itching and discharge.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of clotrimazole ear drops should be followed strictly as advised by a doctor.

General dosage guidance:

• Instill 2–3 drops into the affected ear
• Use 2–3 times daily or as prescribed
• Continue treatment for the full recommended duration

Before use, the ear should be gently cleaned and dried. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

Mechanism of Action

Clotrimazole: 

• An antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi.
• Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts cell membrane integrity, leading to leakage of cellular contents and eventual fungal cell death.

Lignocaine: 

• A local anesthetic that numbs the area, providing immediate relief from pain.
• Lignocaine hydrochloride acts by blocking nerve signal transmission in the affected area, providing rapid relief from pain, burning, and irritation. Together, this combination ensures effective treatment of infection while improving patient comfort.

Side Effects

Clotrimazole ear drops are generally well tolerated. Some patients may experience mild and temporary side effects such as:

• Mild burning or stinging sensation
• Local irritation or redness
• Temporary itching in the ear

Severe allergic reactions are rare. If symptoms worsen or persist, medical advice should be sought.

OFFRY BC Ear Drops should not be used in:

• Patients allergic to clotrimazole, lignocaine, or any component of the formulation
• Individuals with a known or suspected perforated eardrum (unless advised by a doctor)
• Severe ear trauma without medical supervision

Use with caution in children and avoid prolonged use without medical guidance.

Drug Interactions

Since clotrimazole ear drops are used topically, systemic drug interactions are uncommon. However:

• Avoid using other ear drops simultaneously unless prescribed
• Inform your healthcare provider about ongoing ear treatments

Storage Instructions
