Neosporin H Ear Drops

Drug | Drop

Bacterial infections of the external ear (otitis externa) and infected ear eczema/inflammation where susceptible organisms are likely; helps relieve pain, swelling and itching associated with infection.

Neomycin and polymyxin B are antibiotics that kill susceptible bacteria by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis (neomycin) and disrupting the bacterial cell membrane (polymyxin B). Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid that reduces local inflammation, redness, swelling and itching.

For otic use only. Use as prescribed by a doctor. Typically, instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected ear 3–4 times daily; keep the ear facing up for a few minutes after instillation. Avoid touching the dropper tip; do not use in the eyes. Use for the full course and do not exceed duration advised.

Prolonged/overuse may cause fungal overgrowth or resistant infection. Stop and seek medical advice if severe irritation, rash, worsening pain, discharge, or hearing changes occur.
