What could be worse than a toothache? Only pain in the ear. Most often, children suffer from this, but adults are not immune to external otitis media, acute otitis media (taking into account cases of perforation of the eardrum), and chronic otitis media. Otof's ear drops can save you from such problems.
Most often, children suffer from acute otitis media. When prescribing treatment for patients with such problems, pathogenic microflora must be taken into account, information about which, for example, with perforated otitis media, can be received by a doctor only on the fifth day after the patient’s treatment.
That is why, in order not to lose precious time, doctors prefer drugs with a wide spectrum of action, which will quickly bring relief to the patient and begin the treatment process. Today, Otof ear drops are considered one of the best drugs used in complex treatment.
The basis of this drug is a semi-synthetic antibiotic with a wide spectrum of action - rifamycin, which has an antimicrobial effect. It is the antibacterial properties that make this drug indispensable in the fight against pathogens of infectious processes. Rifamycin is highly effective in the fight against staphylococci, pneumococci, diphtheria strains and even tuberculosis mycobacteria.
Otof's ear drops are often used by ENT doctors for topical use, since the basic drug for the drops, rifamycin, stops the growth of bacteria that cause infectious and inflammatory diseases.
The drug is a product of the French pharmaceutical company Laboratories du Docteur E. BOUCHARA. Otof's ear drops are non-toxic, which means that the diagnosis of Perforated acute otitis media is not excluded from the list of diseases in which this medicine is used for complex treatment.
In 2002, the pediatric faculty of the Russian State Medical University on the basis of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology conducted research on this medication. Scientists were interested in the effectiveness and tolerability of the drug in the treatment of children under fourteen years of age. The drug was highly praised by Russian scientists. As for contraindications, with increased sensitivity to rifamycin, Otof ear drops are contraindicated. Clinical studies on the effect of this drug on the body of pregnant women and mothers during lactation have not been conducted.
In acute otitis media, drops in the Otof's ears are used as follows: three drops are instilled into the ears three times a day for children, and an adult, using the drug also three times a day, receives five drops. Usually, the course of treatment lasts 6-7 days. The degree of systemic absorption of the drops is very low, which means that an overdose of them is almost impossible. Studying the interaction of this drug with other drugs, no clinically significant reactions were detected. This means that Otof drops can be safely used if necessary when undergoing another course of treatment. Before using the drops, it is recommended to hold the bottle in your palms for a couple of minutes. The warmth of the hands will warm the contents of the bottle, which means you will relieve the patient of the discomfort caused by the ingress of cold drops into the ear, which is of particular importance in the treatment of infants.
The drug has been present on the Russian pharmacological market for 10 years. Numerous reviews of parents whose children underwent complex treatment, including the Otofa drug, indicate that drops relieve acute pain and bring significant relief already at first use. Excellent reviews can be heard from most otolaryngologists, who give a very high rating to the drug and are happy to use it in their medical practice. Otofa is a time-tested drug!
