Description
Candibiotic Plus ear drops are used to treat ear infections that are suspected to be caused by bacteria or fungi. This medicine is a combination of three active ingredients: beclomethasone, clotrimazole, and neomycin. Beclometasone is a steroid with anti-inflammatory properties, neomycin is an antibacterial agent, and clotrimazole is an antifungal agent.
Candibiotic Plus ear drops help to reduce ear infection and inflammation. However, since the ears are one of the most sensitive organs in the body, it is essential to exercise caution when using this medication. It is important to use it as prescribed by your doctor and for the duration prescribed. To prevent contamination of the ear drop, avoid touching any surface with the dropper tip.
Before and after using Candibiotic Drops, wash your hands. Do not use more drops than the recommended amount. Patients under the age of 12 should not take this medication.
