How should I use Auro-Dri?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.
Do not take by mouth. Otic medicine is for use only in the ear.
Wash your hands before using ear drops.
To use the ear drops:
Lie down or tilt your head with your ear facing upward. Open the ear canal by gently pulling your ear back, or pulling downward on the earlobe when giving Auro-Dri to a child.
Hold the dropper upside down over your ear and drop the correct number of drops into the ear.
Stay lying down or with your head tilted for at least 2 minutes.
Do not touch the dropper tip or place it directly in your ear. It may become contaminated. Wipe the tip with a clean tissue but do not wash with water or soap.
Do not allow a child to use this product without supervision.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve, or if they get worse.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Auro-Dri is usually applied when needed and does not have a regular dosing schedule. Do not use more than the recommended number of drops at one time.
