HOW TO USE CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE:
CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE: Apply CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE into the ear, usually twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Do not use CARBAMIDE PEROXIDE for more than 4 days. For accuracy and to avoid contamination, have another person insert the drops if possible. To apply ear drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your ear or any other surface. Lie on your side or tilt the affected ear upward. Place the dropper directly over the ear and instill the recommended, or prescribed amount of drops. To help the drops roll into the ear (for adults) hold the earlobe up and back or (for children) hold the earlobe down and back. Keep the head tilted for about two minutes or insert a soft cotton plug if so directed. If there is any wax remaining after treatment it may be removed by gently rinsing the ear with warm water or using a soft rubber bulb ear syringe. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the safe use of an ear syringe. Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after use.
