Buy Otomize Ear Spray

Otomize Ear Spray is used to treat infection and inflammation in the outer ear.

Otomize contains three active ingredients, dexamethasone, a topical corticosteroid medicine that’s used to control inflammation; neomycin sulfate, a broad spectrum antibiotic to fight infections, and acetic acid, an antibacterial agent that also helps to clear infections.

Directions

Always use Otomize Ear Spray exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you.

Before using a new bottle of Otomize Ear Spray, you must shake it well and press the pump down several times until you get a fine spray. Make sure you do not point the nozzle at yourself or someone else.

Each time the pump is pressed down one measured dose will be delivered. If you have not used Otomize for more than a week, press the pump a few times until you get a fine spray again.

To use Otomize Ear Spray, start by placing the nozzle tip gently into your ear. Press the pump once to deliver the correct dose. Spray one measured dose into each affected ear three times a day, or as directed by your doctor/pharmacist.

If you forget to use Otomize, use it as soon as you remember then go on as before. The nozzle tip must always be in place when you use the spray. You can remove it for cleaning but always click it back into place afterwards.

Continue using Otomize until two days after symptoms have gone. Stop using the product and consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 7 days of treatment. Do not use more than the recommended dose.
