Cetraxal Comp is an ear drop medicine that treats ear infections by killing bacteria and reducing swelling and pain.
How to Use
Dosage
Use the content of one single-dose container in the affected ear twice a day.
Method
Clean the outer ear gently. Warm the drops in your hand for 1-2 minutes, then twist off the cap. Tilt your head and put all the drops into the affected ear. For outer ear infections, pull your earlobe up and out. For middle ear infections with tubes, gently press the small flap in front of the ear canal 4 times. Keep your head tilted for about 1 minute to allow the medicine to soak in.
