KENACOMB OTIC- Product Information Page 1 of 6 PRODUCT INFORMATION KENACOMB ® OTIC (TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE/NEOMYCIN SULPHATE/ NYSTATIN/GRAMICIDIN) DESCRIPTION Kenacomb Otic contains the synthetic corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide; the antifungal agent nystatin; and the antibiotic agents neomycin sulphate and gramicidin. NOTE: Each gram of Kenacomb Otic provides 1mg triamcinolone acetonide, 2.5mg neomycin as the sulphate, 0.25mg gramicidin and 100,000 units nystatin in an ointment base (plastibase), or viscous liquid (plastibase). Plastibase is a proprietary mixture of polyethylene and liquid paraffin. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Kenacomb Otic is intended for application to the external auditory canal. Triamcinolone acetonide, a topical corticosteroid has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of topical corticosteroids is unclear. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognisable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man. Neomycin and gramicidin provide antibacterial activity against microorganisms likely to be responsible for bacterial infections of the external auditory canal. Nystatin, an antifungal antibiotic, is included for the prevention or treatment of Candida albicans infections. These ingredients give symptomatic relief of the pain, burning and itching of infected otitis externa, while combatting the relevant bacterial and/or monilial infection.
