Introduction About ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS
ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS is used in the management of fungal ear infections. It is a combination of Clotrimazole and Lignocaine, which belong to the group of medicines called Antifungals and Local anaesthetics, respectively.
A fungal ear infection is an infection of the ear with a fungus that normally involves the external ear hole to the eardrum (the external auditory canal). Hearing loss, a feeling of fullness in the ear, redness of the outer ear, itching, pain, swelling, ringing in the ears, and white, yellow, grey, black, or green discharge from the ear are the symptoms of a fungal ear infection.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine that manages the growth of fungi by changing the structure of their cell walls and provides relief from itching, congestion, and swelling in the ears. To relieve ear pain, lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that alters signal conduction in nerves that transmit pain sensations. This collective action is useful in the effective management of middle-ear fungal infections.
ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS should be used with caution in pregnant women, women planning to become pregnant, and breastfeeding women, and only after consulting a doctor. ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS is not recommended for use in patients allergic to clotrimazole, lidocaine, or other local anaesthetics who have a blood disorder called acute porphyria.
Although ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS is appropriate for all age groups, it should be used with caution in children, adolescents, and the elderly. The most common side effects of ZAPCLOTRI EAR DROPS are irritation or a burning sensation in the ear. Consult your doctor if these symptoms become worse.
