MilbeMite™ Otic Solution should be administered as one tube per ear as a single treatment. Each foil pouch contains two tubes of solution, one for each ear. Open the tube by pressing cap down firmly to break seal. Remove cap and check to be sure tip of tube is open. Squeeze the tube to administer the contents of one tube into each external ear canal. Massage the base of the ear for optimal distribution. Cleaning of the external ear canal prior to treatment may be performed, but is not necessary to provide effectiveness.

Apply the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not apply two doses at once.
