Are Oxafloxin Drops Used For Ear Infection ?
I have an ear infection and I went to cvs to pick up my medicine. It was supposed to be oxafloxin ear drops but it said eye drops. I used it and figured it was a typo. But now I'm worried because the label said opthalmic use only and it thought that ment ear.
