PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC ACTION
The product has antimicrobial action by the presence of gentamicin, anti-inflammatory action by the presence of dexamethasone and antiparasitic action by the presence of albendazole. Gentamicin is an antibiotic from the group of aminoglycosides, with bactericidal action both in the multiplication phase and in the germination phase. It has been shown to be the most active antibiotic against the microbial flora present in otitis. The spectrum of activity is broad, including Gram-negative bacteria (Proteus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiela spp., Enterobacter spp.) And Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp.).
Gentamicin is very effective through local applications in primary and secondary infections, especially those caused by bacteria resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. Dexamethasone is very active in local applications, being a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory effect 30 times stronger than hydrocortisone. The combination in optical solutions reduces the healing time due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.
Albendazole is a benzimidazole carbamate with antiprotozoal and anthelmintic effects against parasites with intestinal and tissue localization.
