How should I use my chloroxylenol and pramoxine otic?

In general, chloroxylenol and pramoxine otic should be used as follows:

• Have another person administer the drops whenever possible. Thoroughly clean the external ear and the ear canal of the affected ear(s).

• Lie on your side or tilt your ear up to make administering a drop easier.

• For adults, hold the earlobe up and back. For children, hold the earlobe down and back. This will allow the drops to run into the ear canal. Carefully instill the prescribed number of drops in each ear.

• Keep the ear tilted for approximately 5 minutes. A cotton or gauze plug may be inserted into the ear canal to contain the medication if directed by your doctor.

• Alternatively, a cotton or gauze plug may be inserted into the affected ear(s) before using the drops, and moistened with a few drops of sterile water. Then, the plug may be saturated with chloroxylenol and pramoxine otic, and drops should be repeated as prescribed without removing the plug. The plug should be replaced after 24 hours.

Use all of the medication that has been prescribed for you. Your symptoms may improve before your condition is completely treated. If you do not use all of the medication prescribed, the condition could return or worsen.
