Buy Otomize ear spray online: generic alternative

What will be supplied?

The medicine may arrive in generic packaging rather than an Otomize-branded box. The active ingredients and strengths are listed below. Contact the pharmacy before ordering if you need to clarify the manufacturer or packaging; an Otomize-branded pack is not guaranteed.

Treatment for the outer ear canal

Dexamethasone reduces inflammation, neomycin is an antibiotic and acetic acid helps create conditions that control bacterial infection. This combination is used for otitis externa. It is not a wax-removal spray or a treatment to use for every cause of ear pain.

Why the assessment matters

A perforated eardrum or grommets can make this medicine unsuitable. You may need an ear examination before treatment can be chosen. Explain any discharge, hearing changes, severe pain or fever, and mention diabetes or a weakened immune system. Seek prompt medical advice if symptoms worsen.

Using the bottle correctly

Shake and prime the spray as the leaflet describes. Follow the prescribed course and do not share the bottle. A 5ml bottle does not represent a fixed number of treatment days, and opened bottles must be discarded after one month.

Directions

Follow your prescription, usually one spray into each affected ear three times daily. Shake well and prime a new bottle until a fine spray appears. Place the nozzle gently at the ear opening; do not inhale the spray. Treatment normally continues until two days after symptoms clear. Stop and seek advice if there is no improvement within seven days or symptoms worsen.

Ingredients

Dexamethasone 0.1% w/w, neomycin sulfate 0.5% w/w and acetic acid 2% w/w. Other ingredients include methyl and propyl parahydroxybenzoate and stearyl alcohol, which can cause reactions. Read the supplied leaflet for the full formulation.

Warnings

Do not use if you have a known or suspected perforated eardrum, grommets or an allergy to an ingredient. Not for children under two. Tell the prescriber about hearing problems, pregnancy, breastfeeding and other medicines. Use only in the ear; avoid eyes, mouth and inhalation.

Side Effects

Brief stinging or burning may occur. Stop and seek advice for persistent irritation, rash or worsening symptoms. Incorrect or prolonged use can increase risks, including hearing damage where the eardrum is not intact.

Storage

Keep upright in its carton at or below 25°C. Do not freeze. Use within one month of first opening and follow the expiry date. Keep out of children’s sight and reach.
