Cortomycin Solution

Generic Name: Hydrocortisone/Neomycin/Polymyxin B Ear Solution (hye-droe-KOR-ti-sone/nee-oh-MYE-sin/pol-i-MIX-in)
Brand Name: Examples include Cortisporin and Cortomycin

Cortomycin Solution is used for:

Treating infections of the ear caused by certain bacteria. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Cortomycin Solution is a combination of 2 antibiotics and a corticosteroid. The antibiotics work by slowing the growth of, or killing, sensitive bacteria. The corticosteroid reduces inflammation.

Do NOT use Cortomycin Solution if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Cortomycin Solution, to other aminoglycosides (eg, gentamicin), or to other corticosteroids (eg, prednisone)
you have a viral infection of the ear (eg, herpes simplex, chickenpox, shingles)
you have a perforated ear drum

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Cortomycin Solution:

Some medical conditions may interact with Cortomycin Solution. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have asthma

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Cortomycin Solution. Because little, if any, of Cortomycin Solution is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Cortomycin Solution may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Cortomycin Solution:

Use Cortomycin Solution as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Cortomycin Solution is for use in the ear. Do not get Cortomycin Solution in your eyes. If you get Cortomycin Solution in your eyes, rinse immediately with cool tap water.
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using Cortomycin Solution.
Wash and dry the outer ear with a sterile cotton applicator.
To use ear drops, lie down or tilt your head so that the affected ear faces up. For adults, gently pull the earlobe up and back to straighten the ear canal. For children, gently pull the earlobe down and back to straighten the ear canal. Drop the medicine into the ear canal. Keep the ear facing up for 5 minutes so the medicine can run to the bottom of the ear canal. A clean cotton plug may be gently inserted into the ear canal to prevent medicine from leaking out. To prevent germs from contaminating the medicine, do not touch the applicator to any surface, including the ear. Keep the container tightly closed.
To clear up your infection completely, continue using Cortomycin Solution for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.
If you miss a dose of Cortomycin Solution, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Cortomycin Solution.

Important safety information:

Cortomycin Solution is effective only against bacteria. It is not useful against fungal or viral infections.
It is important to use Cortomycin Solution for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Cortomycin Solution and may increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Cortomycin Solution and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
Long-term or repeated use of Cortomycin Solution may cause a second infection. Your doctor may want to change your medicine to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.
If your condition does not improve within 7 days or if it becomes worse, check with your doctor.
Do not exceed the recommended dose or use Cortomycin Solution for longer than 10 days without checking with your doctor.
Do not use Cortomycin Solution for other ear conditions at a later time.
Some of these products contain sulfites, which can cause allergic reactions in certain individuals (eg, asthma patients). If you have previously had allergic reactions to sulfites, contact your pharmacist to determine if the product you are taking contains sulfites.
Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using Cortomycin Solution.
Use Cortomycin Solution with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 2 years of age. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Cortomycin Solution during pregnancy. It is unknown if Cortomycin Solution is excreted in breast milk after topical use. If you are or will be breast-feeding while you are using Cortomycin Solution, check with your doctor or pharmacist to discuss the risks to your baby.
