Instilling Ear Drops

  • Wash hands thoroughly before every use.
  • Sit or lie down with the head tilted to one side, exposing the relevant ear.
  • Warm the ear drops by gently rolling the bottle between your hands or holding the bottle under your armpit for a few minutes.
  • Gently shake the bottle. Do not touch the tip of the bottle to your ear.
  • Gently pull the ear up and back.
  • Gently squeeze the bottle to drop the 2-3 drops into the ear canal. Apply 3 to 4 times per day (e.g. meal time and before bed)
  • Gently pull or press on your ear flap to squeeze out possible air bubbles.
  • Leave the medication in the ear for approximately 15 minutes to coat your ear before allow it to flow out naturally. Do not try to remove the medication with Q-tips or other materials.
  • Replace with a new sterile cotton ball in the opening of the ear canal after instilling the ear drops to block off dust and adsorb excess ear drops. Take care not to push the cotton ball too deep.
  • Store ear drops in a cool dry place and away from sun light. Do not refrigerate.
