What Is Cortisporin Otic?
Cortisporin Otic (neomycin-polymyxin-hydrocortisone) is a prescription medication used to manage bacterial infections and inflammation of the outer ear canal. It works by combining two antibiotics that disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit protein synthesis with a corticosteroid that reduces swelling, redness, and discomfort. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience significant relief within a few days of starting treatment.

Is Online Cortisporin Otic Treatment Right for You?
Cortisporin Otic is prescribed for adults with acute bacterial otitis externa, commonly known as swimmer's ear, when both infection control and inflammation relief are needed. Your physician will assess your ear symptoms, medical history, and any prior antibiotic use to confirm this is the right treatment for you.
Because Cortisporin Otic contains neomycin, patients with a history of neomycin or aminoglycoside hypersensitivity, perforated eardrum, or chronic ear conditions require careful evaluation before use. Your Doctronic physician will review your ear health history to ensure this medication is safe and appropriate for your situation.

Frequently asked questions
Cortisporin Otic is a prescription ear drop used to treat bacterial infections of the outer ear canal, also called otitis externa or swimmer's ear. It combines two antibiotics (neomycin and polymyxin B) with hydrocortisone to fight infection and reduce pain, swelling, and itching.
Typically, Cortisporin Otic is instilled as directed drops into the affected ear canal several times daily, usually for 7 to 10 days. Your prescribing physician will provide the exact dose and duration. Tilt your head and gently pull the outer ear upward to allow the drops to reach the canal, then stay in position for a few minutes.
No. Cortisporin Otic should not be used in patients with a known or suspected perforated eardrum because the neomycin component can be toxic to the middle ear structures. Your Doctronic physician will screen for this during your evaluation.
Common side effects include local burning, stinging, or itching in the ear canal. Some patients develop a contact sensitivity reaction to neomycin, which may appear as worsening redness or irritation. If you notice increasing discomfort after starting treatment, contact your provider.
No. Patients with a known allergy to neomycin or other aminoglycoside antibiotics should not use Cortisporin Otic. Alternative antibiotic ear drops such as ofloxacin otic or ciprofloxacin otic are available and may be more appropriate for you.
Many patients notice improvement in pain and discharge within 24 to 48 hours of starting treatment. Full resolution of the infection typically occurs within 7 to 10 days of completing the prescribed course. If symptoms worsen or do not improve after a few days, contact your physician.
