Candid Ear Drop

Lidocaine (2% w/v) + Clotrimazole (1% w/v)

Fungal infection of the ear (otomycosis), fungal otitis externa; helps relieve itching, irritation and discharge due to fungal ear infection

Clotrimazole is an imidazole antifungal. It inhibits ergosterol synthesis, disrupting the fungal cell membrane and stopping growth of susceptible fungi.

For external ear use only. Use as prescribed by the doctor; generally instill the recommended number of drops into the affected ear, keep the head tilted for a few minutes and avoid touching the dropper tip. Use for the full prescribed duration even if symptoms improve.

Burning or stinging sensation, irritation, itching, redness, mild pain in ear

Do not use if you are allergic to clotrimazole/imidazoles. Avoid use if eardrum is perforated or if there is severe ear pain, blood/pus discharge, or hearing loss unless advised by a doctor. Do not put in eyes or swallow. Use with caution in children and during pregnancy/lactation—consult a doctor. Stop and seek medical advice if rash, worsening irritation, or no improvement occurs.

No significant drug interactions expected with topical/ear clotrimazole; inform your doctor about other ear preparations being used (especially other topical antifungals/antibacterials).

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
