Frequently Asked Questions

What is neomycin-polymyxin b sul/hc sol otic used for?

Neomycin-Polymyxin B Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otic Solution is used to treat bacterial infections of the outer ear canal, commonly known as swimmer's ear or otitis externa. It combines two antibiotics to fight susceptible bacteria with a steroid to reduce inflammation, itching, and swelling.

Do I need a prescription for neomycin-polymyxin b sul/hc sol otic drops?

Yes, this medication requires a valid prescription in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate your condition before it can be dispensed, and our pharmacy team verifies every prescription before shipping.

How do I use these ear drops?

The standard adult dose is 4 drops instilled into the affected ear 3 to 4 times daily, for no more than 10 days. Lie with the affected ear up for a few minutes after instilling the drops, and follow your provider's specific instructions.

What is the difference between the otic solution and the otic suspension?

Both contain the same active ingredients, but the solution form should not be used if the eardrum is perforated. The suspension is generally preferred when a perforated eardrum is possible; your provider will choose the appropriate form for you.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or our pharmacy team reviews your prescription. Once verified, your medication is dispensed and shipped from a licensed U.S. pharmacy directly to your address.

What should I do if my ear infection isn't improving?

Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve within about one week or if they worsen. Do not use this medication for longer than 10 days, as prolonged use raises the risk of side effects and overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms.

Is the generic the same as brand-name Cortisporin?

Yes, Neomycin-Polymyxin B Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otic Solution 1% is the generic equivalent of Cortisporin Otic Solution. Generics are FDA-approved to contain the same active ingredients at the same strength as the brand-name product.
