Neomycin-polymyxin-hc

Drug Details

Cortisporin ear drops are designed to treat bacterial infections of the outer ear, commonly referred to as swimmer's ear. This medication combines two antibiotics, neomycin and polymyxin, which work together to halt bacterial growth. Additionally, it contains hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid that alleviates inflammation, reducing swelling and discomfort in the ear. It is important to note that Cortisporin is effective only against bacterial infections and should not be used for other types of ear infections. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics may lead to reduced effectiveness. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.
