Otociriax®: o que é, indicações, colaterais e como usar.

Otociriax is a topical ear medication widely used to treat infections of the external auditory canal. Its composition combines ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, with hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory action. What it is and indications The medication is indicated for the treatment of bacterial otitis externa. The combination of the two active ingredients helps fight infection caused by bacteria sensitive to ciprofloxacin and, simultaneously, reduces the inflammatory process, which helps relieve pain, swelling, and redness in the ear canal. How to use Application should be done carefully to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment: 1. Wash your hands before application. 2. Lie on your side with the affected ear facing upwards. 3. Instill the number of drops prescribed by the doctor directly into the ear canal. 4. Remain in this position for about 5 minutes to allow the medication to penetrate properly. 5. Avoid getting the ear wet during the treatment period. Side effects and precautions Although well tolerated in most cases, local reactions such as itching, burning sensation, discomfort or redness in the ear canal may occur. It is essential to emphasize that the use of Otociriax is contraindicated in cases of tympanic membrane perforation and in patients with viral or fungal ear infections. Its use should always be guided by an otolaryngologist after a proper physical examination. --- Dr. Larissa Vilela Otolaryngologist CRM/DF 16.978 - RQE 13.397 OtoCare Clinic Phone: (61) 9 9957-8479 | (61) 3702-6756 Website: https://otocareclinica.com.br/ #otociriax #antibiotic #ENT #earache
