Pediotic Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Neomycin,Polymyxin B and Hydrocortisone
INDICATIONS
AND USES
For the treatment of superficial bacterial infections of the external auditory
canal caused by organisms susceptible to the action of the antibiotics, and
for the treatment of infections of mastoidectomy and fenestration cavities caused
by organisms susceptible to the antibiotics.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The external auditory canal should be thoroughly cleansed and dried with a
sterile cotton applicator.
For adults, 4 drops of the suspension should be instilled into the affected
ear 3 or 4 times daily. For infants and children, 3 drops are suggested because
of the smaller capacity of the ear canal.
The patient should lie with the affected ear upward and then the drops should
be instilled. This position should be maintained for 5 minutes to facilitate
penetration of the drops into the ear canal. Repeat, if necessary, for the opposite
ear.
If preferred, a cotton wick may be inserted into the canal and then the cotton
may be saturated with the suspension. This wick should be kept moist by adding
further suspension every 4 hours. The wick should be replaced at least once
every 24 hours.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING.
