Applies to: gentamicin, Drotic (hydrocortisone / neomycin / polymyxin b otic)

MANAGEMENT: Topical preparations containing an aminoglycoside should not be used with other aminoglycosides in circumstances where significant systemic absorption could occur (e.g., application to burnt or broken skin; use of large quantities or on large areas for prolonged periods). The normally recommended dosages of these products should not be exceeded.
