Otomate Ear Drop is a combination of four medicines: Gentamicin, Clotrimazole, Betamethasone and Lidocaine which treat skin infections. Gentamicin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Betamethasone is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic which blocks pain signals from the nerves to brain thereby decreasing pain sensation.
