Other Comments
The solution should be warmed by holding the bottle in the hand for 1 to 2 minutes to avoid the dizziness associated with the installation of a cold solution into the ear canal.
The patient should lie with the affected ear facing upward for at least one minute to facilitate penetration of the drops into the ear.
Discard the used container.
