How Candibiotic AB Ear Drop works
Candibiotic AB Ear Drop is a combination of two medicines: Ofloxacin and Dexamethasone. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which prevents bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. This treats your ear infection. Dexamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the ear red, swollen and itchy.
