Pharmacology
Beclometasone, chloramphenicol, clotrimazole and lidocaine are used together as ear drops to treat ear infections. Each one does a separate job.
Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. It blocks pain signals travelling from the nerves to the brain, so the pain feels less. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen and itchy.
Clotrimazole is an antifungal. It stops fungi from growing by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic, and it stops bacteria from growing by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins.
