A member asked:
I'm on maxitrol drops because of an ear infection. they include corticosteroids and antibiotics. can i take them although i have stomach ulcer?

Very little of the: antibiotic and steroids in the eye drops will be absorbed into the rest of your body. They will have no effect one way or another on your stomach ulcer. Best wishes. Dr. Anne.
