About Qudraforce Plus Ear Drop

Qudraforce Plus Ear Drop is used to treat bacterial and fungal ear infections. An ear infection occurs when microbes like bacteria and fungi infect the outer and middle ear (air-filled space behind the eardrum). Symptoms include ear pain, fever, irritability, drainage of fluid from the ear, and hearing loss. 

Qudraforce Plus Ear Drop contains Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Beclometasone (corticosteroid). Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclometasone blocks prostaglandin (chemical messenger) production, which makes the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It prevents inflammation and allergy.

Qudraforce Plus Ear Drop is for otic (ear) use only. Qudraforce Plus Ear Drop may cause common side effects like ear discomfort and itching or irritation in the ear. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.
