Pramotic

Pramotic is an antibiotic and anesthetic drug, used to treat an ear infection. This is a drug combination of chloroxylenol and pramoxine.

Chloroxylenol is the antibiotic component of Pramotic. It fights the bacteria to eradicate ear infection.

Pramoxine is the anesthetic component of Pramotic. It reduces the symptoms of ear infection, particularly ear pain and itchiness.

Instructions:

Read your medication guide and follow your doctor’s prescription at all times.

• Apply Pramotic into the affected ear(s) with the required number of drops per doctor’s prescription.
• You may assume a side- lying position or just tilt your head with you affected ear facing upward when applying this medication. Stay in this position for 5 minutes after applying for this medicine. To open the ear canal, pull the ear gently back and upward for adults while pulling the ear gently back and downward for children.
• Position the ear dropper above your affected ear. Avoid contaminating the tip of the dropper. Do not let it touch any surface including your ears and fingers.
• Wipe the dropper tip using a tissue paper but do not wash it with soap or water.
• The dosage depends on your medical condition or treatment response. Do not adjust your dose without your doctor’s recommendation.
• Do not let this otic medication from getting in contact with your eyes or mouth. Otherwise, rinse these sites with water immediately.
• Avoid alcohol intake and activities that require mental alertness (i.e. driving, operating machinery) because ear infection causes dizziness and it can also affect your sense of balance.
• Continue using this medication on a regular schedule (same time of the day). Do not stop taking this medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.

Inform your doctor immediately if your condition aggravates or does not improve.

Take your missed dose as soon as possible. However, make sure that the time interval between the missed and the next dose is not too close. Otherwise, stick with the regular schedule and leave out the missed dose. Do not double dose to cover up a missed dose. Record your missed dose and inform your doctor immediately if you missed several doses.
