- Ofloxacin 5 drops in affected ear BID x 7 days (Floxin otic)[1]
- Safe with perforations
- Ciprofloxacin-hydrocortisone 3 drops in affected ear BID x 7 days
- Contains hydrocortisone to promote faster healing
- Not recommended for perforation since non-sterile preparation
- Ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone 4 drops in affected ear BID x 7 days
- Similar to Cipro HC but safe for perforations
- Often more expensive
- Cortisporin otic 4 drops in ear TID-QID x 7days (neomycin/polymixin B/hydrocortisone)
- Use suspension (NOT solution) if possibility of perforation
- Animal studies suggest possible toxicity from the neomycin although rigorous data is lacking[2]
