What Is Vosol?
Vosol (acetic acid otic) is a prescription medication used to manage otitis externa, commonly known as swimmer's ear. It works by creating an acidic environment in the ear canal that inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi responsible for the infection. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience significant relief within days of starting treatment.

Is Online Vosol Treatment Right for You?
Vosol is indicated for adults and children with acute otitis externa caused by susceptible bacteria or fungi. It is particularly appropriate for patients who have not had tympanic membrane perforation confirmed, as it should not be used in ears with a perforated eardrum.
Because swimmer's ear involves the outer ear canal, a brief ear history is important before prescribing Vosol. Patients with a history of eardrum perforation, ear surgery, or chronic ear conditions should disclose this during their evaluation so the physician can confirm Vosol is the right treatment option.

Frequently asked questions
Vosol is an acetic acid otic solution that lowers the pH of the ear canal, making it inhospitable to the bacteria and fungi that cause swimmer's ear. A few drops applied directly into the ear canal several times a day can clear the infection and relieve pain and itching.
Most patients notice improvement in pain and discharge within 24 to 48 hours of starting Vosol. A full course of treatment typically lasts 5 to 7 days. If symptoms are not improving after 3 days, contact your provider.
No. Vosol should not be used in ears with a confirmed or suspected perforated eardrum. During your online evaluation, your Doctronic physician will ask about your ear history to make sure Vosol is safe for you.
Tilt your head so the affected ear faces upward. Gently pull the outer ear backward and upward to straighten the ear canal, then instill the prescribed number of drops. Keep your head tilted for about a minute to allow the solution to reach the canal, then place a cotton plug if directed by your provider.
Some patients experience a mild stinging or burning sensation immediately after applying the drops. This usually subsides quickly. If you notice severe pain, worsening symptoms, or a rash around the ear, contact your provider.
Yes. Otitis externa can recur, especially in people who swim frequently or live in humid environments. To reduce the risk, keep ears dry after water exposure, avoid inserting objects into the ear canal, and talk to your provider about preventive ear acidification drops.
