  • While the patient lies with the affected ear upward, instill the solution; have the patient remain in this position for at least 1 minute (to help the drops penetrate into the ear); if necessary, repeat for the opposite ear.

Storage requirements:
  • Store at 15C to 25C (59F to 77F).
  • Store unused containers in pouch to protect from light.

General:

  • The deliverable volume in 1 single-use container is 0.25 mL.

Patient advice:
  • For otic use only; not for ophthalmic use, inhalation, or injection.
  • Avoid missing doses and complete the entire course of therapy.
  • Follow these directions while using this drug:

  • Lie with affected ear upward; instill the contents of 1 container into the ear; remain in this position for at least 1 minute (to help the drops penetrate into the ear); if necessary, repeat for the opposite ear.
