1. What is Otinum and what is it used for

Otinum is a medicine used for the short-term treatment of inflammatory conditions of the external ear canal, characterized by pain, itching, and redness.
The medicine is also recommended for softening earwax before ear irrigation.
The active substance of Otinum ear drops is a salicylic acid derivative - choline salicylate.
Choline salicylate has local analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects when applied topically, reducing pain and inflammation in external ear canal inflammation. The glycerol in the medicine softens earwax, making it easier to remove. When administered locally into the ear, the medicine does not have a systemic effect.

2. Important information before using Otinum

When not to use Otinum

  • if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to the active substance (choline salicylate), other salicylates (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid/aspirin), or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
  • if you have bleeding or discharge from the ear;
  • if you have severe ear pain with worsening hearing;
  • if you have previously been diagnosed with eardrum damage (perforation or rupture);
  • in children under 18 years of age.

Page 1 4
Eardrum perforation may be indicated by: severe ear pain (gradually decreasing), ringing in the ears (which may indicate damage to deeper ear structures), hearing loss, dizziness, and/or discharge from the ear. The causes of eardrum damage (perforation) include infections, injuries (e.g., improper ear cleaning with cotton swabs), and medical procedures (e.g., improper ear irrigation due to earwax).

Warnings and precautions

Any ear pain is a reason to consult a doctor.
The medicine for the treatment of external ear canal inflammation can be used without consulting a doctor for a short period, no longer than 3 days. If there is no improvement or the symptoms worsen despite using Otinum in the recommended doses for 3 days, you should contact your doctor.
If additional symptoms occur, indicating a developing disease (e.g., fever, malaise, weakness, dizziness, discharge from the ear), you should contact your doctor.
In the event of recurrence of the disease, the use of Otinum should be decided by a doctor.
Otinum may mask the symptoms of other ear diseases and hinder or delay their proper diagnosis.
You should inform your doctor about the use of Otinum.
The medicine contains a preservative - chlorobutanol.
Do not use Otinum contrary to the indications listed in the leaflet or with a different route of administration (e.g., orally, on open wounds, especially in the ear canal or in the eyes).

Otinum and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, have recently taken, or might take, including those obtained without a prescription.
The medicine is used locally and does not have a systemic effect.
Concomitant use with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) may enhance the local effect.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.

Driving and using machines

The medicine does not affect the ability to drive or use machines.

3. How to use Otinum

Always use this medicine exactly as described in the patient leaflet or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Otinum is for use in the ear only. Otinum is intended for use in adults.

  • For short-term treatment of local symptoms of acute external ear canal inflammation: usually 3 to 4 drops into the external ear canal every 6 to 8 hours.Without a doctor's recommendation, do not use Otinum for more than 3 days.
  • For softening hardened earwax before removal: usually 3 to 4 drops into the external ear canal every 12 hours for four days.

  • 2. Tilt your head or lie on your side so that the affected ear is facing upwards.
  • 3. Gently pull the earlobe (the lower part of the ear) away from your neck.
  • 4. With the bottle upside down, press the bottle to administer 3-4 drops of the medicine into the affected ear.
  • 5. For a few minutes, keep your head tilted so that the drops can flow into the ear canal.
  • 6. Wipe away any excess liquid with a clean cloth.
  • 7. Close the Otinum bottle.

Additional tips for using Otinum:

  • 1. Having someone help you or using a mirror can make it easier to administer the drops into your ear.
  • 2. Be careful not to get water into the ear after using the medicine.
  • 3. Do not share Otinum with others.

Using more than the recommended dose of Otinum

It is not possible to overdose on the medicine by administering it into the ear. Symptoms of overdose, which may occur after accidental oral ingestion of the medicine, include: disorientation, dizziness, excessive sweating, vomiting, ringing in the ears, and rapid breathing (hyperventilation). In the event of oral ingestion of very large doses of the medicine, central nervous system disorders may occur, including respiratory and circulatory disorders. If you have taken the medicine orally, seek medical attention immediately.

Missing a dose of Otinum

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
