Which item is used as an ear medication?

• A. Tresederm
• B. Tramadol
• C. Acepromazine
• D. Alprazolam

Answer: (A)

Ear medications are topical treatments designed for otitis externa, often combining an antibiotic, an antifungal, and an anti-inflammatory to address infection and inflammation in the ear canal. Tresaderm fits this use: it is formulated for otic application and contains an antibiotic, an antifungal component, and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and itching in the ear.

Tramadol is an analgesic, used systemically for pain relief, not as a topical ear drop. Acepromazine is a tranquilizer/sedative, used for sedation and antiemetic effects in some cases. Alprazolam is an anxiolytic benzodiazepine. None of these are formulated or labeled for ear-specific treatment.
