Otek-AC NEO

Product Overview

Otek-AC NEO is a medication containing the active ingredients Chloramphenicol, benzocaine, and propylene glycol. It is a topical ear drop solution designed to treat bacterial ear infections and provide relief from pain and inflammation associated with earache. Otek-AC NEO combines the antimicrobial properties of Chloramphenicol with the analgesic effects of benzocaine, offering a comprehensive solution for ear infections.

Uses

Otek-AC NEO is used to treat bacterial infections of the external ear canal, known as otitis externa or swimmer’s ear. This medication helps to relieve symptoms such as ear pain, itching, redness, and discharge caused by bacterial infection. Otek-AC NEO is effective against a wide range of bacteria commonly found in ear infections, providing rapid relief and promoting healing.

How to Use

To use Otek-AC NEO, first, thoroughly clean the external ear canal and gently dry it. Shake the bottle well to ensure proper mixing of the solution. Tilt your head to the side or lie down with the affected ear facing upward. Hold the dropper directly over the ear canal and instill the prescribed number of drops into the ear. Keep the head tilted for a few minutes to allow the medication to penetrate deeply into the ear canal. Repeat the process for the other ear if needed. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

How it Works

Otek-AC NEO works by combining the antibacterial action of Chloramphenicol with the analgesic properties of benzocaine. Chloramphenicol inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria causing the infection. Benzocaine acts as a local anesthetic, numbing the ear canal and providing relief from pain and discomfort. Propylene glycol serves as a solvent, aiding in the dispersion of the active ingredients and promoting their absorption into the infected tissues.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Otek-AC NEO may vary depending on the severity of the infection and the individual patient’s condition. Typically, 2 to 3 drops are instilled into the affected ear canal, 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It’s important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent recurrence.

Benefits

Otek-AC NEO offers several benefits for individuals with bacterial ear infections. It provides rapid relief from symptoms such as ear pain, itching, and discharge, allowing patients to feel more comfortable and functional. The combination of Chloramphenicol and benzocaine offers both antimicrobial and analgesic effects, addressing the infection and alleviating associated discomfort. Otek-AC NEO is easy to administer and well-tolerated by most patients.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Otek-AC NEO may include temporary burning or stinging sensation in the ear, mild irritation, or itching. These side effects are usually mild and transient, resolving on their own as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider.

Warnings

Before using Otek-AC NEO, inform your healthcare provider if you have any allergies to Chloramphenicol, benzocaine, or any other medications. Avoid using this medication if you have a perforated eardrum or any other serious ear condition, unless directed by your doctor. Do not use Otek-AC NEO for longer than prescribed or in higher doses than recommended.
