Bottle Volume of Neomycin-Polymyxin B Otic Solution
Neomycin-polymyxin B otic solution is supplied in a 10 mL bottle 1.
Product Specifications
The FDA-approved formulation of neomycin and polymyxin B sulfates with hydrocortisone otic solution comes in a white plastic dropper bottle containing 10 mL 1. This is the standard commercial packaging size for this combination otic preparation.
Dosing Context
Understanding the bottle volume is clinically relevant because:
- Each milliliter contains approximately 10-20 drops depending on solution viscosity 2
- A 10 mL bottle therefore contains roughly 100-200 drops total
- Typical dosing is 3-5 drops per application 2
- This provides sufficient medication for a complete treatment course of acute otitis externa, which typically requires 7-10 days of therapy 3, 4
Storage Requirements
The 10 mL bottle should be stored between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), with the cap securely tightened between uses 1.
