Candid Ear Drop

[Clotrimazole (antifungal) + Lidocaine (local anesthetic)]

Uses

Treatment of fungal ear infections (relieves itching, pain, redness, and swelling).

How It Works

• Clotrimazole: Kills fungi by damaging their cell membranes.

• Lidocaine: Blocks pain signals for immediate relief.

Dosage

• External use only.

• Apply as directed by the doctor (usually 2–3 drops into the affected ear).

• Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contamination.

Side Effects

• Burning/itching/redness at the application site.

Safety Advice

• Missed Dose: Skip if forgotten; never double the dose.

• Storage: Keep at room temperature, away from moisture.

Tips

1. Clean and dry the ear before application.

2. Use warm compresses for additional comfort.

3. Complete the full course to prevent recurrence.

Note: Avoid self-medication; confirm the diagnosis (fungal vs. bacterial) with a doctor.
