Clotrimazole Ear Drops with Lignocaine | Antifungal Ear Drops - Product Description
- Clotrimazole ear drops are a trusted antifungal treatment used for managing fungal infections of the external ear canal, commonly known as otomycosis.

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.

- Inform your healthcare provider about ongoing ear treatments
