Cec Ear Drop

Cec Ear Drop is a combination medicine primarily used to treat an ear infection. An ear infection occurs when microbes like bacteria and virus infect the middle ear (air-filled space behind the eardrum). Symptoms include ear pain, fever, irritability, drainage of fluid from the ear and hearing loss. 

Cec Ear Drop is composed of four medicines: Beclometasone (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal), Lidocaine (local anaesthetic), and Ofloxacin (antibiotic). Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Lidocaine causes temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. Ofloxacin is bactericidal (kills bacteria) and works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription and repair of the DNA.

Your doctor will decide the dosage of Cec Ear Drop based on the severity of your infection. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. Cec Ear Drop has common side effects as every drug does. These side effects include ear discomfort and irritation at the application site.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Cec Ear Drop or any other medications. Please check with your doctor before using Cec Ear Drop if you have adrenal gland problems, cataract or glaucoma, liver or kidney diseases, and heart problems. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Cec Ear Drop. Drive or operate machinery only when you do not experience any discomfort in the ears while using ear drops.

Cec Ear Drop is used to treat ear infections. It consists of Beclometasone, Clotrimazole, Lidocaine and Ofloxacin. Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops fungi' growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic and reduces pain by blocking the pain signals from nerves to the brain. It causes temporary numbness/loss of feeling in the skin and mucous membranes. Ofloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription and repair of the DNA.
