Drugs in Otic Antiseptics
ACETIC ACID
ACETIC ACID
Otic antiseptics are topical antimicrobial agents—such as acetic acid, boric acid, and isopropyl alcohol—formulated for administration into the external ear canal.
Rather than relying on targeted systemic pathways, they function non-specifically by altering local microenvironmental pH, desiccating tissues, or disrupting microbial cell structures to suppress the growth of broad-spectrum bacteria and fungi.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the treatment and prevention of mild acute otitis externa (swimmer's ear) and superficial ear canal infections, provided the tympanic membrane is fully intact.
