This is a US label.

The official US FDA label for acetic acid, effective March 18, 2026, describes products sold in the United States. The medicine sold in DR Congo may differ in strength, form or approved uses: ask a pharmacist or a doctor.

Official US FDA label for acetic acid

Data provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (openFDA), unchanged. The full label on DailyMed.

Uses

INDICATIONS AND USAGE For the treatment of superficial infections of the external auditory canal caused by organisms susceptible to the action of the antimicrobial.

Dosage

US dosage, for products sold in the United States. For a medicine bought in DR Congo, follow its box, its leaflet or your pharmacist.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Carefully remove all cerumen and debris to allow acetic acid otic solution to contact infected surfaces directly. To promote continuous contact, insert a wick of cotton saturated with acetic acid otic solution into the ear canal; the wick may also be saturated after insertion. Instruct the patient to keep the wick in for at least 24 hours and to keep it moist by adding 3 drops to 5 drops of acetic acid otic solution every 4 hours to 6 hours. The wick may be removed after 24 hours but the patient should continue to instill 5 drops of acetic acid otic solution 3 times or 4 times daily thereafter, for as long as indicated. In pediatric patients, 3 drops to 4 drops may be sufficient due to the smaller capacity of the ear canal.

WARNINGS Discontinue promptly if sensitization or irritation occurs.
