Mode of Action

Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone that has a broad spectrum of activity against otic pathogens without ototoxicity. Hence Ofloxacin is preferred to Aminoglycosides for any application within the middle ear space. Ofloxacin exerts antibacterial activity by inhibiting DNA gyrase of bacteria. Clotrimazole is a synthetic imidazole derivative, which is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that exerts fungicidal activity against fungi responsible for superficial mycotic infections affecting the outer or middle ear including Candida, Microsporum & Trichophyton. Clotrimazole inhibits Cytochrome P-450 synthesis of Ergosterol, which decreases fungal cell wall integrity thus inhibits fungal growth. Clotrimazole also has activity against certain bacteria such as Streptococci and Staphylococci. The antibacterial effect of Clotrimazole is advantageous to treat mixed bacterial-fungal infections. Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a potent steroid as compared with other topical corticosteroids. Beclomethasone like other topical corticosteroids, has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. It induces phospholipase A2 and sequentially inhibits the release of arachidonic acid, thereby depressing the formation, release, and activity of prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other inflammatory mediators. Lidocaine Hydrochloride is a topical local anesthetic which helps to reduce pain and stinging in the ear.
