Description
Boric Acid Ear Drops are used to treat bacterial and fungal infections in the ear, such as swimmer’s ear. The boric acid creates an acidic environment that is hostile to microbial growth, while the alcohol helps to dry out the ear canal, preventing further infection.
Dosage/Direction: Instill 3-8 drops into the affected ear(s) 2-3 times daily, or as directed by your doctor. Tilt your head to allow the drops to flow into the ear canal and remain in this position for a few minutes. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. Do not use for more than 7 days unless advised by your doctor.
Side Effects: Common side effects include transient pain, burning, or stinging at the application site. These effects are usually mild and temporary. Rare but serious side effects can include severe headache, confusion, or signs of an allergic reaction. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
