Fungizol

Fungizol ear drop is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections of the ear.

Instill 2-3 drops of Clotrimazole Ear Drops in the affected ear two or three times daily. The treatment should be continued for at least two weeks after the disappearance of all signs of infection to prevent re-infection.

Clotrimazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the production of ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes resulting in increased membrane permeability and leakage of essential constituents of the fungal cells.

Fungizol is generally well tolerated after local application but the few side effects have been reported infrequently like erythema, stinging, edema, pruritus and general irritation.

Individuals who have hypersensitivity to any of its components.

If local intolerance develops, consider withdrawal of the medicine and institution of appropriate therapy. Fungizol ear drop is not intended for ophthalmic use.

Clotrimazole is recommended during pregnancy only after first consulting a doctor.

Because systemic absorption of clotrimazole following topical application is marginal, there should be no risk for the infant during lactation.

In case of accidental oral ingestion, supportive measures should be taken.

There have been reports of a heat reaction when this medication used concomitantly with Sofradex drops in the ear.
