Cetraxal Plus Ear Drops - Dual-Action Treatment for Bacterial Ear Infections

Cetraxal Plus Ear Drops - Dual-Action Treatment for Bacterial Ear Infections reviews

• What Makes Cetraxal Plus Different From Other Ear Infection Treatments?

  

  The main difference between Cetraxal Plus and other treatments is that Cetraxal Plus has a unique dual-action formulation. The drops contain both an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and a steroid (fluocinolone acetonide). This allows the treatment to tackle the root cause of the infection and ease your painful symptoms at the same time.

  Many other ear drops and treatments only contain one active ingredient, so may not reduce inflammation or minimise discomfort as effectively as Cetraxal Plus. As ear infections can be very painful, you may find the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of Cetraxal Plus give you faster, more effective relief from your infection.

  Because Cetraxal Plus is a prescription-only medication, you’ll need to see a doctor before accessing the treatment. They’ll be able to assess your symptoms to decide which is the most effective ear treatment for you.

• What Is Otitis Externa And How Does Cetraxal Plus Help?

  

  Otitis externa is inflammation of the ear canal. It’s also known as swimmer’s ear. If you have otitis externa, you may have pain and swelling in your ear canal, itching and irritation in and around your ear, and a feeling of pressure or fullness inside your ear. You could also have decreased hearing and find it very painful to move your outer ear or your jaw.

  Cetraxal Plus helps otitis externa by killing the bacteria causing the infection and reducing the swelling and discomfort in your ear canal.

• How Do I Know If I Have A Bacterial Ear Infection?

  

  Ear infections can be caused by bacteria, fungus or a virus. Cetraxal Plus is only effective against infections caused by bacteria.

  In general, bacterial ear infections tend to be more painful and last longer than viral infections. If you have a bacterial infection, you may also feel lethargic or have a high fever (temperature). Often, viral infections resolve on their own within a week, while bacterial infections persist for longer and require antibiotics.

  Fungal infections can often be diagnosed with a visual exam, though diagnosis may need to be confirmed through laboratory testing.

• How Long Does Cetraxal Plus Take To Work?

  

  If you’ve been prescribed Cetraxal Plus to treat an ear infection, you should begin to notice relief from the pain and discomfort within a few days.

  However, even if your symptoms disappear completely, it’s essential that you complete your full course of Cetraxal Plus. This will help to ensure your infection is completely cleared and also prevents bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.

• Can Cetraxal Plus Treat Glue Ear?

  

  Glue ear is a condition where the middle part of the ear canal fills up with fluid. This may cause temporary hearing loss.

  Though glue ear can follow an ear infection, it’s not typically a symptom of an active infection. This means that Cetraxal Plus isn’t effective in treating glue ear, unless there are signs of a bacterial infection present.

• Can Cetraxal Plus Be Used For Blocked Ear Wax?

  

  Cetraxal Plus is not designed to treat earwax blockages and won’t help to ease the symptoms of a blockage unless you also have a bacterial infection.

  You may be able to clear your blockage using a wax-softening treatment or by flushing your ear with warm saline solution. If you can’t clear your blockage, you may need to book an appointment with your doctor.

• What Should I Do If I Miss A Dose Of Cetraxal Plus?

  

  Usually, your doctor will tell you to take two doses of Cetraxal Plus per day. If you forget a dose of the medication, take it as soon as you remember.

  However, if it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your course of Cetraxal Plus as normal. Never take two doses at the same time as this could increase your chances of experiencing side effects.

• Can I Use Cetraxal Plus If I Have A Perforated Eardrum?

  

  If you have a perforated eardrum (a condition that’s often accompanied by severe pain, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, dizziness and nausea) you shouldn’t use Cetraxal Plus unless the drops have been specifically prescribed by your doctor.

  You may also need to avoid the medication if you have grommets - small tubes that are often used to treat glue ear.

• Are There Any Lifestyle Restrictions While Using Cetraxal Plus?

  

  Your ears should be kept as clean and dry as possible when using Cetraxal Plus. Try to avoid getting soap or shampoo in your ears and don’t use cotton buds to clean them during treatment.

  You should also avoid swimming as this can make your ear very wet and could make your infection worse.

• What Should I Do If My Symptoms Don't Improve With Cetraxal Plus?

  

  If you’ve completed your course of Cetraxal Plus and your symptoms haven’t improved, you should speak to a doctor about alternative treatment options. Your doctor may recommend other medications or may run tests to determine the exact cause of your infection.
