Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and do not work for viral infections such as the flu or a cold.

It is essential that you follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and duration of treatment indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have leftover antibiotic after treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of the medication through the drain or in the trash.

If the auditory canal is narrow, the medication is made to reach the eardrum by displacing the canal from its lower part and then pulling the eardrum, so that when the air bubbles come out, they are replaced by the medication.
