About Glacial Acetic Acid+lignocaine+ofloxacin
Glacial Acetic Acid+lignocaine+ofloxacin is used to treat ear infections and ear conditions such as otalgia (ear pain), acute otitis media (middle ear infection), and otitis externa (inflammation of the outer ear canal). Otalgia is ear pain, which can result from infections, injuries, or underlying health conditions. Acute Otitis Media is a bacterial or viral infection leading to inflammation and fluid build-up in the middle ear. Otitis Externa is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal, often triggered by bacteria, moisture, or injury.
Glacial Acetic Acid+lignocaine+ofloxacin is a combination medication. It contains glacial acetic acid, lignocaine and ofloxacin. Glacial acetic acid helps prevent bacterial and fungal growth by creating an acidic environment, while ofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills infection-causing bacteria.

Together, they help treat Acute Otitis Media, Otalgia, and Otitis Externa by reducing infection, inflammation, and discomfort.
