ABSTRACT:
A topical ear composition that uses penetration enhancers to diffuse the therapeutic agents through the tympanic membrane into the middle and inner ear for the purpose of reducing the inflammation of ear tissues, providing pain relief, and introducing agents with antimicrobial activity to combat infection. The composition reduces swelling of the lining membranes of the middle and inner ear, prevent the destructive effects of inflamation, inhibit the production of prostaglandins, reduce symptoms of tinnitus and vertigo, improve and prevent paralysis of the facial nerve, relieve labyrinthitis, and prevent hearing loss.
