Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops

Product Overview

Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops is a medication containing the active ingredient Fluconazole (0.3% w/v). It is a sterile solution formulated for topical administration to the eyes or ears. Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops are specifically designed to treat fungal infections of the eyes and ears, providing targeted relief from discomfort and aiding in the resolution of infection. These drops offer a convenient and effective way to manage fungal-related eye and ear conditions.

Uses

Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops are indicated for the treatment of fungal infections affecting the eyes and ears. These infections may result from exposure to fungi such as Candida or Aspergillus, leading to symptoms like redness, itching, discharge, pain, and swelling. By delivering fluconazole directly to the affected area, Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops help eliminate fungal growth and alleviate associated symptoms, promoting healing and recovery.

How to Use

To use Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops, wash your hands thoroughly before handling the dropper bottle. Tilt your head back or lie down, depending on whether you are administering the drops to your eyes or ears. Gently pull down the lower eyelid or lift the earlobe to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper directly over the eye or ear and instill the prescribed number of drops. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to prevent contamination. After applying the drops, keep your eyes or ears closed for a few moments to allow the medication to spread evenly.

How it Works

Fluconazole, the active ingredient in Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops, belongs to a class of antifungal medications known as azoles. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. By disrupting the integrity of the fungal cell wall, fluconazole weakens the structure and function of the fungus, ultimately leading to its death. This mechanism of action effectively eradicates the fungal infection, relieving symptoms and promoting healing.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage and administration of Otoflu Eye/Ear Drops may vary depending on the severity of the fungal infection and the patient’s age and medical history. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the drops are administered two to three times daily, as directed. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage, and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished.
