PreOtic AV is an antiseptic with a drying effect used to help control microflora in the ear canals. The product helps prevent maceration of the ear canal surface caused by excessive moisture, exudate or water exposure.
The formula uses alcohols and acids as effective drying agents. This approach is important when it is necessary to reduce environmental moisture and create conditions that are less favorable for pathogenic microflora.
The advantages of the antiseptic components in PreOtic AV include a broad antimicrobial spectrum, lower cost compared with antibiotic-containing products, lack of resistance formation in microflora and the potential for additive interaction with certain other medicinal products.
Another important factor is the ability of PreOtic AV to shift pH toward the acidic side. This environment itself becomes unfavorable for pathogenic microflora and can be used as part of a comprehensive approach to maintaining the normal condition of the ear canal.
Acetic acid in PreOtic AV is considered a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal component. It is used as a ceruminolytic, astringent and acidifying agent, including for the treatment of skin lesions, folds and the ear canal.
Boric acid in the product has astringent properties, helps buffer the internal environment of the ear canal and provides a mild acidifying effect. Keratolytic activity is also noted for this component, making it important in the context of ear canal care.
Benzyl alcohol is an important active component of PreOtic AV and is used as a preservative due to its antiseptic activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It also has a moderate local anesthetic effect, which may help control itching that often accompanies otitis.
