Description:

Gentamycin ear drops are prescribed for treating bacterial ear infections. These drops work by killing the bacteria responsible for the infection. In cases where the ear is both swollen and infected, such as in otitis externa, your doctor may prescribe gentamycin ear drops combined with hydrocortisone to reduce inflammation and treat the infection effectively.

Therapeutic Indications:

Gentamycin ear drops are indicated for use in both adults and children for:

1. Treatment of Superficial Ear Infections: Effective against infections caused by bacteria sensitive to gentamycin.
2. Prophylaxis Against Infection: Used in cases of trauma to the ear to prevent infection.

How to Use:

Adults, Elderly, and Pediatric Population:

• Ears: Clean the affected area first, then instill 2-3 drops into the affected ear three to four times a day, including at night. In severe cases, more frequent dosing may be required.

Method of Administration:

• Auricular Use: Administer the drops directly into the ear.

Precautions:

• Contraindications:
  • Hypersensitivity to gentamycin or any of the excipients in the formulation.
  • Myasthenia Gravis: Gentamycin is contraindicated in patients with this condition.
  • Perforated Eardrum: Do not use if there is a known or suspected perforation of the ear drum.
