• Prevention of bacterial inflammatory diseases of the ear in the presence of risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, cancer (especially during radiation and chemotherapy), reduced local and general immunity, fungal and viral infections of ENT organs, autoimmune and other systemic diseases.
• Prevention of bacterial inflammatory diseases of the ear (external and otitis media) and their relapses, including diseases of the nose (sinusitis, rhinitis), throat (pharyngitis, abscesses, sore throat, chronic tonsillitis) and other respiratory diseases (bronchitis, epiglottitis, flu, ARVI).
• Prevention of bacterial complications during surgical interventions and other medical manipulations in the ear and other ENT organs.
• As prescribed by a doctor in other clinical situations where it is important to provide high antibacterial protection and no side effects.

Interaction

Antibacterial agents: Otophage can be used simultaneously with antibacterial agents. Antiseptic products: Otophage can be used simultaneously with solutions of chlorhexidine bigluconate 0.05% and 0.2%, hydroxymethylquinoxalindioxide 2.0%;

Due to the inactivation of the bacteriophages that make up the Otophage, it is not recommended to use the following drugs simultaneously with the Otophage: :

• products based on octenidine and phenoxyethanol;

• products based on polyacrylic acid salts;

• solutions of hydrogen peroxide.

How to take, course of use and dosage

• At home, Otophage is applied to the treated area directly from the bottle or with a napkin (cotton swab). Do not wet the treated area (do not wash off the gel) for 40 minutes after applying Otofag.
• In the conditions of receiving a specialist, the affected or injured areas of the ear and other ENT organs are treated with an Otophage.

IMPORTANT! Otophage is safe in contact with the mucous membrane and if swallowed. Do not introduce Otophage into closed foci of inflammation that do not have or have a limited outflow of exudate from the focus (for example, sutured wounds, etc. ). Introducing Otophage into such foci can lead to a pronounced exacerbation of the inflammatory process and/or edema and/or lymphostasis.

Otophage contains a complex of 32 types of bacteriophages from the collection of LLC SPC “Mikro Mir”, which inhibit the growth of the following pathogenic bacteria:

• Bacteroides spp.
• Escherichia coli spp.

Practice of using bacteriophages 

Bacteriophages (from other Gr. -“eaters of bacteria”) are viruses that selectively infect bacteria: each type of bacteriophage is active only against a certain type of bacteria and is neutral against other types.

In clinical practice, bacteriophages are used that destroy pathogenic bacteria without disturbing the human normoflora and without interacting with its organs and systems.

This allows them to be used in all categories of patients (including newborns, pregnant women, and nursing mothers). as an effective and safe antibacterial agent for prevention and therapy, including in combination with antibiotics. (“Rational use of bacteriophages in medical and anti-epidemic practice. Federal Clinical (methodological) recommendations”, Moscow,2014).

Prophylactic use of bacteriophages is particularly relevant in cases where there are no clinical signs of bacterial infection, and the use of antibiotics is undesirable due to their side effects.

For example, prevention by bacteriophages of bacterial complications of viral and fungal infections, injuries, burns, surgical interventions, as well as prevention of bacterial infections proper in the presence of various risk factors (concomitant diseases, individual conditions, dangerous epidemiological situation, and other unfavorable environmental factors).

As a result of the use of bacteriophages, pathogenic bacteria are destroyed, a normal balance of microflora is maintained, and the negative impact of infectious inflammation on the body is weakened.

The complex protective action of bacteriophages helps the body cope with infection and its consequences, and regular preventive use of bacteriophages prevents new cases of infectious inflammation or significantly reduces the severity of its course.
