An online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor or pharmacist is available for this product, and a registered pharmacist reviews each order before dispatch to Malaysia or Singapore. Follow the directions on the label and on the leaflet inside the pack.

Duopharma Betagen Eye/Ear Drop must only be used exactly as prescribed by a doctor following an online consultation through DoctorOnCall or an in-person assessment. Wash hands before use, avoid letting the dropper tip touch the eye, ear, or any other surface to prevent contamination, and apply the number of drops instructed by the doctor into the affected eye or ear. Do not share this medicine with another person, and do not use it beyond the duration prescribed even if symptoms appear to improve earlier.

Dosage and duration of treatment with Duopharma Betagen Eye/Ear Drop must be determined by a doctor based on the specific condition being treated and its severity, following a prescription issued after an online consultation via DoctorOnCall or an in-person medical assessment. Patients should not adjust the frequency or stop treatment early without consulting the prescribing doctor, as premature discontinuation may allow the infection to persist or inflammation to return.

Duopharma Betagen Eye/Ear Drop should be used within the shelf-life period printed on the bottle or carton, and discarded after the stated expiry date. Once opened, eye and ear drop products typically have a limited in-use period (commonly around 4 weeks) even before the printed expiry date; follow the specific in-use guidance on the packaging or from the dispensing pharmacist.

Store Duopharma Betagen Eye/Ear Drop at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, unless the label specifically instructs refrigeration. Keep the bottle tightly closed after each use and keep it out of the reach and sight of children. Discard any remaining product once the in-use period has elapsed, even if it has not been fully used.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye, ear, or any surface to prevent contamination

Because Duopharma Betagen Eye/Ear Drop combines a corticosteroid with an antibiotic, it is reserved for cases where a doctor has confirmed that both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action are needed, and it is not suitable for self-diagnosed eye or ear irritation. Ongoing doctor follow-up is important, particularly if treatment continues beyond a short course, to monitor for steroid-related eye pressure changes and to confirm the infection is responding appropriately to the antibiotic component.
