What is Vosol (otic)?

Vosol is an antibiotic that treats infections caused by bacteria or fungus.

Vosol (for the ear) is used to treat infections in the ear canal. Vosol will not treat an inner ear infection (also called otitis media).

Vosol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

You should not use Vosol if you have a hole in your ear drum (ruptured ear drum).

How should I use Vosol (otic)

Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.

For best results, remove any ear wax or other debris before using this medicine. Ask your doctor about safe methods of ear wax removal.

To use the ear drops:

  • Soak a small piece of cotton with several drops of this medicine and then insert it into your ear. Or you may insert the cotton into your ear first and then drop in enough medicine to soak the cotton inside the ear canal.

  • Leave the cotton in your ear for at least 24 hours, and keep it moist by adding 3 to 5 drops of Vosol to the cotton every 4 to 6 hours.

  • After removing the cotton, you may then place the drops directly into your ear 3 or 4 times daily. Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed.

  • Follow your doctor's instructions about how long to keep using Vosol ear drops.

Do not touch the dropper tip or place it directly in your ear. It may become contaminated. Wipe the tip with a clean tissue but do not wash with water or soap.

Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

An overdose of Vosol is not expected to be dangerous. Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222 if anyone has accidentally swallowed the medication.

What should I avoid while using Vosol (otic)?

This medicine is for use only in the ears. Avoid getting the medicine in your eyes, mouth, and nose, or on your lips. Rinse with water if this medicine gets in or on these areas.
