Which topical antibiotics should be avoided in patients with a tympanic membrane perforation? What is the antibiotic of choice?
Avoid eardrops containing gentamicin, neomycin sulfate, or tobramycin as these drugs are ototoxic when there is a tympanic membrane perforation. Ototopical fluoroquinolones are the first-line therapy of choice in this situation.
