Medicinal Benefits

E Clam Ear Drop contains Beclometasone, Clotrimazole, Lidocaine, and Neomycin used to treat ear infections. Beclometasone is a steroid that inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Thereby, reduces the redness and swelling caused due to bacterial infections. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that damages the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that decreases pain sensation by preventing pain signals from nerves to the brain. Neomycin is an antibiotic that inhibits the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, it destroys bacteria.
