Ear infections
Adults and children over 12 years of age:
In the case of external otitis, 10 drops are dropped into the affected ear 2 times a day for 10 days.
In the treatment of chronic purulent otitis media with chronic perforation of the tympanic membrane, the recommended dose is 10 drops per affected ear twice a day for 14 days.
For the treatment of otitis with an established tympanostomy tube, the recommended dose is 5 drops 2 times a day for 10 days.
Children from 1 to 11 years:
The doctor should specifically prescribe the use of the drug and determine the dosage. All treatment should be carried out under his outpatient supervision.
For the treatment of external otitis and acute otitis media with a tympanostomy tube, the recommended dose is 5 drops per affected ear 3 times a day for 10 days. Before instillation, you should warm the bottle in your hand for 1-2 minutes to avoid the development of dizziness (possibly with a cold solution). The instillation is performed in the patient's position lying on its side. After instillation, the patient should maintain this position for 5 minutes to facilitate passage of the solution through the external auditory meatus. If necessary, instillation in the other ear works in a similar way.
