Benefits
In treatment of Fungal infections
Candid Ear Drop is used to treat infections in the ear caused by fungus. It kills and stops the growth of fungus, thereby clearing the infection. It also reduces pain, itching, redness and swelling in the ear caused by infection. Make sure you complete the full dose your doctor has prescribed. This will ensure that the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning. To get relief from discomfort in the ear, apply warm compress on the affected ear several times in a day.
How it works
Candid Ear Drop is a combination of two medicines: Lidocaine and Clotrimazole, which treats ear infections. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which works by blocking pain signals from the nerves to brain, thereby decreasing pain sensation in the ear. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi in the ear by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
