This combination of ingredients helps to provide relief from ear discomfort and can be prescribed by healthcare professionals.

Uses

Typically, the ear drops are administered by tilting the head to the side and gently squeezing the prescribed number of drops into the affected ear. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination.

Mechanism of Action

Otoid Ear contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to provide relief from ear discomfort. Paradichlorobenzene has mild antiseptic properties and helps to reduce inflammation.

Common side effects may include temporary burning or stinging sensation, mild irritation, or redness at the site of application. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if you experience any persistent or severe side effects, seek medical attention.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. If you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or rash, stop using the medication and seek immediate medical attention.
