POLYSPORIN^® Eye & Ear Drops

Eye Application:

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Tilt the head back or lie down and look toward the ceiling.

3. With the eyes open, gently pull the lower eyelid below the eyelashes away from the eye to form a pouch.

4. Hold the container at least 2 cm away and squeeze one drop into the pouch. Slowly release the lower lid.

5. Gently close the eye for one or two minutes. Do not rub the eye and try not to blink

6. If multiple drops are prescribed, wait three to five minutes between each drop.

7. Do not let the bottle directly touch the eye.

For eye infections, repeat this process in the infected eye 4 time a day, for 7 – 10 days.

Contact lenses should not be worn until the infection has resolved.

Because the drops can get contaminated over time, discard the bottle one month after opening and do not share product with others.

Ear Application:

1. Lie on the side or tilt the head over so that the infected ear is facing upwards.

2. Gently pull the earlobe upwards, away from the neck, and squeeze the drops into the ear.

3. Let the drops flow against the side of the ear canal and gently massage the ear around the opening to help the drops work down.

4. Keep the head tilted for a few minutes.

For ear infections, repeat this process in the infected ear 4 times a day for 5 – 7 days.

Because the drops can get contaminated over time, discard the bottle one month after opening and do not share product with others.
