How should I take Antibiotic Ear (Hydrocortisone/Neomycin/Polymyxin B Otic)?
Use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Before using this medication, clean and dry your ear canal with sterile cotton. Shake the ear drops well just before you measure a dose. This medication is usually given as 4 to 5 drops into the affected ear every 6 to 8 hours. Children may need to use fewer drops. Follow your doctor’s instructions about how much medication you should use and how often. Do not use this medication for longer than 10 days in a row unless your doctor tells you to.
