How Perfocyn Ear Drop Works
Perfocyn is a combination of two medicines: Chloramphenicol and Prednisolone. Chloramphenicol is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth in the ear by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Prednisolone is a steroid. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen and itchy.
How to Use Perfocyn Ear Drop
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the ear without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside ear.
