Posology

Adults and children over 1 year old:
First thoroughly clean the external auditory duct. lt is more agreeable to administer the solution at room temperature and better still at body temperature to prevent vestibular stimulation. Instil the product into the external ear duct as follows: 3 to 4 drops, two to four times per day, or more frequently, if required. The patient should first lie on the opposite side in relation to the affection and should preferably remain lying in this position for five to ten minutes. After local cleaning, an impregnated tent of gauze or a hydrophylic tent of cotton can also be inserted in the ear duct, and is generally left in place for one to two days, but should be impregnated to saturation with the product two times per day. In general, the duration of treatment does not exceed five to ten days.
Sometimes, the treatment can be prolonged, but in those cases it is best the susceptibility of the local flora be established. As with all antibacterial preparations, prolonged use may lead to overgrowth with non-susceptible micro-organisms or fungi.
For either indication a maximum duration of therapy of 21 days is recommended.
