About Otek-AC Neo Ear Drop

BENZOCAINE+CHLORAMPHENICOL belongs to a group of medicines called 'antibiotics' used to reduce pain and discomfort associated with an ear infection (bacterial). Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go.

BENZOCAINE+CHLORAMPHENICOL is a combination drug containing: Chloramphenicol (antibiotic) and Benzocaine (local anaesthetic). Chloramphenicol works by interfering with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth. Benzocaine blocks the pain signals from the nerves to the brain, thereby numbs the area and provides relief from pain. Collectively, both of them help to get relief from ear pain.
