Medical Overview
Polysporin Ear Drops is listed as Otic containing Polymyxin B + Bacitracin. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Polysporin ear drops — the steroid-free topical duo (polymyxin B + bacitracin/gramicidin) for mild-moderate swimmer’s ear. The cardinal pre-rule: uncertain eardrum = examination first (unlike ciprofloxacin drops, components risk ototoxicity through perforations/tubes). Warm the bottle, tragal pumping, strict dry-ear discipline — and never cotton buds (they cause the disease).
