Cipocain (3/50mg) 5ml Ear Drops

Lignocaine, also known as Lidocaine, is a local anesthetic that blocks nerve conduction in sensory nerves by inhibiting voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby preventing the generation and conduction of nerve impulses. This mechanism provides numbing and pain relief. Ciprofloxacin, on the other hand, is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, a type II topoisomerase, and topoisomerase IV, enzymes necessary for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By targeting these enzymes, Ciprofloxacin prevents bacterial DNA synthesis and replication, leading to bacterial cell death.
