About MYCLIN DROPS

MYCLIN DROPS is a prescription ear drop used to treat fungal infections of the outer ear canal that are accompanied by pain or severe itching. This medication helps clear the underlying fungal growth while simultaneously providing temporary relief from localised discomfort. It is specifically designed to address both the cause of the infection and the distressing symptoms it produces.

For the treatment to be successful, you must use MYCLIN DROPS consistently and exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if your symptoms begin to improve after a few days. Since this medication is an ear drop, it is applied directly to the ear canal and is unaffected by food or meals. Keeping your ears clean and dry during treatment can significantly support the healing process and speed up your recovery.

While using MYCLIN DROPS, you may experience mild, temporary reactions inside the ear, such as a slight burning or stinging sensation. If you experience severe burning, persistent redness, worsening pain, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop using the drops and consult your doctor immediately.

Before starting this medication, tell your doctor if you have any history of ear damage, particularly a torn or perforated eardrum. Do not use this medicine if you have a known ruptured eardrum, as the liquid could enter the middle ear and cause serious complications.

Avoid using other ear preparations alongside MYCLIN DROPS unless specifically advised by your healthcare professional, as they may interfere with how this medicine works. Pregnant, breastfeeding, or elderly individuals should consult their doctor before starting this treatment to ensure it is safe for their specific situation.

Uses of MYCLIN DROPS

MYCLIN DROPS may be used to help manage the following conditions:

  • Fungal ear infections (otomycosis): MYCLIN DROPS targets and eliminates the fungi causing the infection in the outer ear canal, stopping their growth and clearing the infection.
  • Ear pain and itching: MYCLIN DROPS helps by numbing the sensitive lining of the ear canal, offering rapid relief from the intense itching and throbbing pain associated with the infection.

Key Benefits

MYCLIN DROPS offers the following benefits:

  • Dual-action relief: It treats the root cause of your ear discomfort by clearing the fungal infection while providing rapid, localised pain relief.
  • Targeted action: Because the drops are applied directly to the ear canal, the active ingredients work right where they are needed, minimising the risk of body-wide side effects.
  • Improved comfort: By reducing swelling, itching, and pain, MYCLIN DROPS allows you to sleep and go about your daily activities more comfortably during your recovery.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Lie down with the affected ear facing upwards. Hold the dropper over the ear and instil the prescribed number of drops into the ear. Continue to lie on your side for two minutes to allow the drops to reach the base of the ear canal. Repeat the process for the other ear if needed.
  • Do not touch the dropper to avoid contamination.
  • When not in use, keep the bottle closed tightly and upright.

How MYCLIN DROPS Works

MYCLIN DROPS contains clotrimazole and lidocaine. It contains two active components that work together to treat ear infections and ease discomfort. The first active component, clotrimazole, is an antifungal agent. It works by disrupting the protective outer membrane of the fungal cells, which stops the fungi from multiplying and ultimately clears the infection. The second active component, lidocaine, is a local anaesthetic. It works by temporarily blocking the pathway of pain signals along the nerves in your ear. By preventing these pain messages from reaching your brain, it provides fast, soothing relief from itching and earaches. Together, these two actions help clear the fungal infection while providing rapid relief from pain and itching.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Keep your ears dry: Avoid getting water in the affected ear while bathing, showering, or swimming. You can gently place a cotton ball coated with petroleum jelly in the outer ear to block water.
  • Avoid swimming: Stay out of the pool, lake, or ocean until your doctor confirms that your fungal infection has completely cleared.
  • Do not scratch your ear: Avoid inserting cotton swabs, hairpins, keys, or any other objects into your ear canal, as this can worsen the infection and damage your eardrum.
  • Dry your ears properly: If your ears do get wet, gently dry the outer ear with a soft towel or use a hairdryer on the lowest, coolest setting held at a safe distance.

  • Inspect the solution: Before each use, look at the ear drops. Do not use the medicine if you notice any unusual colour changes, cloudiness, or floating particles.
  • Keep the dropper clean: Never touch the dropper tip to your ear, fingers, or any other surface to prevent contamination of the remaining medicine.
  • Check your eardrum status: Do not use this medication if you suspect or know you have a ruptured or torn eardrum. If you notice fluid draining from your ear, consult your doctor immediately.
  • Complete the course: Finish the entire prescribed duration of MYCLIN DROPS, even if your ear stops hurting and feels completely normal after a few days. Stopping too early can cause the fungal infection to return.
