What is the dosage of Neo Myxidin?
Neo Myxidin ear drops should be used as directed by a specialist physician. The dosage and duration of treatment depend on the severity of the infection and the patient's response.
The usual dosage for adults and children (over 2 years of age): 3-4 drops in the affected ear 2-4 times daily.
Before use, warm the bottle between your hands to avoid dizziness that may result from introducing cold liquid into the ear canal. You should lie on your side with the affected ear facing upwards, and remain in this position for a few minutes after instilling the drops to ensure the medication penetrates the ear.
Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including the ear, to prevent contamination.
It is very important to complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence of the infection or the development of antibiotic resistance.
