    Advice! Have to Use Neomycin Polymyxin Ear Drops

    Hey thanks for the replies. I am aware of the ototoxicity of neomycin. I know it is extremely commonly prescribed in ear drop form though so I can assume the majority of people don’t get these effects? In that article you sent me it says “(Of particular interest is that topical ear drop...
