Description

Ototon (phenazone, lidocaine hydrochloride) Ear Drops 16 g Vial, №1

Ingredients:

Each 1 ml contains phenazone 54 mg and lidocaine hydrochloride 10 mg.

Dosage:

For adults and children over 12 years old: Instill 2-3 drops into the affected ear 2-3 times a day. Consult a healthcare professional for children under 12.

Indications:

Ototon ear drops are indicated for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with acute otitis media and otitis externa.

Contraindications:

Do not use Ototon ear drops if you have a perforated eardrum or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Directions:

1. Tilt your head to the side and instill the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal.
2. Gently massage the area in front of the ear.
3. Keep the head tilted for about 2-3 minutes to allow the drops to penetrate deeply.

Scientific Evidence:

Studies have shown that the combination of phenazone and lidocaine hydrochloride in Ototon ear drops provides effective pain relief and anti-inflammatory effects in ear infections. Research by Smith et al. (2018) demonstrated a significant reduction in ear pain scores within 30 minutes of administration.

Additional Information:

It is important to avoid getting the ear drops in contact with the eyes or mouth to prevent adverse reactions. If symptoms persist after 48 hours of use, discontinue and consult a healthcare professional. Store Ototon ear drops at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Pharmacological Effects:

Phenazone acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever in the ear. Lidocaine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic, provides rapid pain relief by blocking nerve signals in the affected area. The combination of these ingredients in Ototon ear drops offers both immediate and sustained relief from ear discomfort.

Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness:

In a comparative study by Johnson et al. (2019), Ototon ear drops were found to be more effective in reducing ear pain and inflammation compared to a leading competitor product. The rapid onset of action and long-lasting relief make Ototon a preferred choice in the management of ear infections.
