Is it okay to take Ibuprofen/Tylenol while using neomycin and polymyxin b sulfates and hydrocortisone otic solution?
Hi , Thanks for your question, and my answer is yes, it is okay to take ibuprofen or tylenol while using your ear drops. My advice is to alternate between both as to avoid overdosing on tylenol and in the meantime you should take ibuprofen with food to avoid any stomachache. Hope you get well soon. READ MORE
