Introduction

Otomize Ear Spray is a prescription-only treatment used to manage inflammation and infection of the outer ear, a condition known as otitis externa or “swimmer’s ear.” It is designed for localised application directly into the ear canal to relieve itching, pain, redness, and discomfort caused by bacterial ear infections and associated inflammation. Otomize is commonly prescribed for short-term use in adults and children over the age of 2.

How It Works

Otomize contains three active ingredients: dexamethasone (a corticosteroid), neomycin sulphate (an antibiotic), and acetic acid (an antifungal and antibacterial agent). Dexamethasone reduces swelling and inflammation in the ear canal. Neomycin sulphate targets and kills bacteria responsible for ear infections. Acetic acid helps restore the natural pH balance and prevents the growth of fungi and additional bacteria. Together, they provide fast, targeted treatment for infected and inflamed ears.

Why Choose Otomize Ear Spray

Otomize Ear Spray for ear infections is a trusted solution prescribed by UK healthcare professionals. It combines three essential treatments in one convenient spray: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal. This triple-action formula helps ease pain and reduce swelling quickly, allowing for effective symptom control with minimal systemic absorption. The spray nozzle ensures accurate dosing and reduces the risk of contamination compared to dropper bottles. It is especially helpful for patients prone to recurrent outer ear infections or those with an active lifestyle that involves water exposure.

Important Note

Otomize should only be used for the duration prescribed—typically no longer than 7 days. Overuse may lead to side effects or bacterial resistance. Do not use if the eardrum is perforated, or if you suspect deep inner ear issues. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and do not refrigerate. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if symptoms do not improve within a few days.

Can I use Otomize Ear Spray if I have a perforated eardrum?

No, Otomize should not be used if you have a perforated eardrum or grommets fitted. Consult your healthcare provider for alternative treatments.

Yes, if both ears are affected by infection, Otomize can be used in both ears as directed by your healthcare provider.

Most patients notice improvement in symptoms such as pain and inflammation within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment. However, it’s essential to complete the full prescribed course to ensure the infection is fully treated.

Otomize should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if prescribed by a healthcare professional, who will weigh the benefits against potential risks.

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double up on doses.
