Introduction

Neosporin H Ear Drop is to be used only in the affected ear. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Read the label carefully for instruction before you use the medicine. Wash your hands before using this medicine. Do not use too much or too little. Use it in the exact dose as prescribed by the doctor or as instructed in the label. Use of this medicine may cause burning, irritation, itching, and stinging sensation immediately after instilling. These are usually temporary and resolve with time. However, if they persist or get worse, inform your doctor. In case of accidental contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, immediately rinse with water. Inform your doctor if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in this medicine or if you are taking any other medication. It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery immediately after using this medicine as it may cause temporary blurring of vision and may affect your ability to drive.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the ear without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside ear.

Neosporin H Ear Drop is a combination of two medicines: Polymyxin B and Neomycin. Polymyxin B kills bacteria by destroying the bacterial cell membrane. Neomycin stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Together, they eradicate your infection effectively.

Your doctor has prescribed Neosporin H Ear Drop to cure your ear infection and improve your symptoms. Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. If it does, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with saltwater. Along with using Neosporin H Ear Drop, give a warm compress to your eyes/ears to get relief from itching and other discomforts. Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye/ear to the other and to other members of your family. Washing your hands regularly (particularly after touching your eyes/ears) and not sharing towels or pillows will help to prevent the infection from spreading.
