What auxiliary label should you use for Cortisporin otic suspension?

For the eye
Shake well
Take on an empty stomach
Do not take within 2 hours of antacids or vitamins

The correct answer is: Shake well

Using an auxiliary label that states "Shake well" for Cortisporin otic suspension is appropriate because it is a liquid medication that may contain ingredients that could separate over time. Shaking the suspension ensures that the active ingredients are evenly distributed, leading to more effective treatment. It is crucial for patients to mix the solution properly before administration to ensure they receive the correct dosage and therapeutic effect. Other labels mentioned might not apply to otic preparations; for example, "For the eye" would be relevant for ophthalmic solutions but not for ear drops, while "Take on an empty stomach" and "Do not take within 2 hours of antacids or vitamins" pertain primarily to oral medications rather than topical or otic formulations. Hence, the emphasis on shaking the product is key in maintaining its efficacy.
