This ear drop is used to treat outer ear infections caused by bacteria (also known as swimmer’s ear). This medication contains neomycin and polymyxin, which are antibiotics that work by stopping the growth of bacteria.

Where would you put an otic solution?

To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your ear or any other surface. Lie on your side or tilt the affected ear upward. Hold the dropper directly over the ear, and place the prescribed number of drops into the ear canal.

How long does it take for otic drops to work?

Once I start using the eardrops how long should it take until I feel better? Most people feel better within 48 to 72 hours and have minimal or no symptoms by 7 days. Notify your doctor if your pain or other symptoms fail to respond within this time frame.
