The drug OTICAINA FORTE contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
1
Lidocaine
UNII V13007Z41A - LIDOCAINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibres by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anaesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane. |
2
Polymyxin B
UNII 19371312D4 - POLYMYXIN B SULFATE
|
Polymixin B is bactericidal against a wide range of gram negative bacilli. It exerts a bactericidal effect by binding to acid phospholipids in the cell wall and membranes of the bacterium, thereby rendering ineffective the osmotic barrier normally provided by the cell membrane. |
3
Neomycin
UNII 057Y626693 - NEOMYCIN SULFATE
|
Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and acts by binding to polysomes, inhibiting protein synthesis and generating errors in the transcription of the genetic code. |
4
Betamethasone
UNII 9842X06Q6M - BETAMETHASONE
|
Betamethasone is a glucocorticoid which is about eight to ten times as active as prednisolone on a weight-for-weight basis. Betamethasone has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. |
