Zinc acetate dihydrate occurs as white crystals or granules, is freely soluble in water and in boiling alcohol and is slightly soluble in alcohol. Chemically its structural formula is C₄H₆O₄Zn•2H₂O.

TOPICAL DECONGESTANT, ANALGESIC, & SKIN PROTECTANT

An otic solution containing antipyrine, benzocaine and zinc acetate dihydrate.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

Combines the analgesic action of antipyrine and benzocaine with the skin protectant zinc acetate to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation and congestion, protect the skin, and alleviate pain and discomfort in acute otitis media.

OTOZIN INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Acute otitis media of various etiologies

• Prompt relief of pain and reduction of inflammation in the congestive and serous stages.
• Adjuvant therapy during systemic antibiotic administration for resolution of the infection.

Because of the close anatomical relationship of the Eustachian tube to the nasal cavity, otitis media is a frequent problem especially in children in whom the tube is shorter, wider and more horizontal than in adults.

Removal of cerumen

• Facilitates the removal of excessive or impacted cerumen.
