Description
What is Otomize Ear Spray?
Otomize Ear Spray is a combination ear treatment that targets infections and inflammation in the outer ear. It contains three active ingredients: dexamethasone (a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation), neomycin sulfate (an antibiotic to kill bacteria), and acetic acid (which helps to restore the ear’s natural acidic environment to prevent further infection). Otomize comes in the form of a spray to be sprayed directly on the external part of the affected ear(s).
How Does Otomize Work?
Otitis externa a medical term used to describe an inflammation of the ear ear that is limited to the ear canal and does not extend beyond the eardrum. An inflammation of the ear is often caused by an infection. These infections results when something such as a soap, insect, or exposure to water makes the ear canal vulnerable to inflammation from itching, poking and scratching. Otomize contains ingredients that work by killing the bacteria that cause the infections and inflammation of the ear, and relieving the unpleasant symptoms such as pain and irritation.
The combination of ingredients in Otomize provides both antibacterial action to kill infection-causing bacteria and anti-inflammatory relief to soothe ear pain and swelling. The spray format ensures easy application directly into the ear canal, allowing the medicine to reach the infected area quickly and effectively. It is commonly prescribed for treating bacterial ear infections and inflammation.
