Terbinafine for fungal ear infection
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if terbinafine, an antifungal medicine, works for treating fungal infections of the ear (called otomycosis). The study will give the medicine to adults who have been diagnosed with a fungal ear infection to see if it helps clear up symptoms like itching, discharge, or debris in the ear canal.
