Oticsun

Oticsun is available as an ear spray contained in a 10 ml bottle equipped with a dosing applicator, which ensures easy and hygienic administration.

The bottle contains 200 single, measured doses. The liquid form allows the active substances to be evenly dispersed in the ear canal, ensuring effective contact with the ear mucosa.

Oticsun solution is indicated in the following situations:

• Adjuvant in the treatment of otitis externa, helping to relieve inflammatory and irritative symptoms;
• Reduction of inflammation and discomfort in the ear canal;
• Softening of cerumen (earwax) and prevention of its excessive accumulation;
• Maintenance of ear hygiene in children and adults;
• Soothing and moisturising the skin of the ear canal affected by dryness, irritation or micro-lesions.

Due to the astringent and emollient effects of its composition, Oticsun can also be used as part of preventive ear care protocols, especially in the hot season, when the risk of external otitis is increased due to frequent exposure to water (swimming, frequent showers, etc.).

Oticsun should be used strictly according to the instructions in the package leaflet:

• For the adjuvant treatment of otitis:
  • Children between 24 months and 12 years: 1 spray in each ear, 2-3 times a day, under adult supervision.
  • Children over 12 years and adults: 1 spray in each ear, 3-4 times a day.
• For maintaining ear hygiene:
  • Children over 24 months and adults: 1 spray in each ear, 1-2 times a week.

Oticsun is contraindicated in the following situations:

• Perforated eardrum (e.g. in the context of chronic otitis media);
• History of allergy to any of the product's ingredients;
• Recent ear surgery;
• Children under 24 months;
• If the bottle is damaged or after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nasal mucosa and throat. Oticsun is for external ear use only.

Before first use, shake the bottle for 5 seconds to mix the contents and press the pump 3-4 times until a fine spray is obtained.

It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions for the correct positioning of the bottle and applicator:

• Pull the ear lobe upwards and backwards;
• Gently insert the tip of the applicator;
• Spray and massage the tragus area for effective distribution;
• Rinse the applicator with warm water after each use.

No relevant adverse reactions have been reported to date. However, as with any product for topical application, individual hypersensitivity reactions may occur, manifested by itching, redness or local discomfort.

If any unusual reactions occur, use should be discontinued and the patient should be referred to a doctor or pharmacist.

No pharmacological interactions between Oticsun and other medicinal products or medical devices have been documented.

However, it is recommended to avoid using other ear products for 30 minutes after applying Oticsun, so as not to affect its efficacy and to prevent possible local interactions.

Due to local administration and controlled dosage, the risk of overdose is negligible. However, excessive or incorrect use may lead to local irritation. In case of accidental ingestion, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

Oticsun should be stored in appropriate conditions to maintain its effectiveness, at a temperature between 15°C and 25°C, away from direct sunlight, in an upright position. Do not freeze or store in the refrigerator. Keep out of the reach of children.

After use, dispose of the packaging in accordance with local regulations.
