  • Clioquinol may cause significant reactions in some users, even in people with hypersensitivity to other derivatives or iodides (cross-sensitivity).
  • The medication should not be used covered with impermeable materials to air and water, such as poorly breathable bandages, to avoid iodine absorption (which contains clioquinol).
  • Prolonged use of clioquinol may cause overgrowth of other microorganisms different from those of your condition.
  • Clioquinol in contact with clothing, skin, nails, and blonde hair can stain them. Although these stains disappear from most tissues when washed, precautions are recommended.

  • Contact your doctor if you experience blurred vision or other visual disturbances.

Interference with Analytical Tests

If you are going to undergo any diagnostic tests (including blood, urine, etc.), inform your doctor that you are being treated with this medication, as it may alter the results, for example: tests to determine thyroid function.

3. How to Use Menaderm Otológico

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is:

If symptoms worsen or persist after 7 days of treatment, consult your doctor.

Instructions for Use

  • Warm the bottle before use by holding it in the palm of your hand for a few minutes. This will prevent discomfort when the cold solution comes into contact with the ear.
  • With your head tilted to one side, apply the drops to the affected ear. Keep your head tilted for at least 30 seconds to allow the drops to penetrate the external auditory canal.
  • Repeat the operation, if necessary, in the other ear.

Use in Children and Adolescents

Menaderm Otológico is contraindicated in children under 5 years of age and is not recommended in children under 12 years of age.
