About MYCLIN DROPS

MYCLIN DROPS is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections in the ear. It also relieves pain associated with the infection. Fungal ear infection or otomycosis occurs when a fungus invades and affects the ear canal that starts from the ear hole to the eardrum (the external auditory canal). 

MYCLIN DROPS comprises two medicines: Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Lidocaine (local anaesthetic). Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops the growth of fungi by causing damage to the fungal cell membrane. Lidocaine belongs to the class of local anaesthetics that reduces pain by blocking the pain signals from nerves to the brain. It causes temporary numbness. 

MYCLIN DROPS is for external use only. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. MYCLIN DROPS may cause common side effects like ear discomfort and itching or irritation in the ear. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to MYCLIN DROPS or any other medications. Please inform your doctor if you have any ear problems before using MYCLIN DROPS. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting MYCLIN DROPS. MYCLIN DROPS usually does not interfere with driving ability or alcohol consumption; however, it is better to seek medical advice. MYCLIN DROPS should be used for children only when advised by a doctor.

Directions for Use
