NOTES: Neomycin has been found to have an effect on lowering blood cholesterol levels when used alone or in combination with niacin. This, however, is not an approved use of the drug. If your doctor has prescribed this for you for lowering cholesterol, discuss diet and other drug therapies as well.

MISSED DOSE: When used before bowel surgery, the doses are scheduled based on when the surgery will occur. Therefore, it is important to take each dose as scheduled and follow the dietary restrictions and bowel cleaning procedures closely. If you miss a dose of this medication or forget a step as outlined, consult your health care professional for advice on establishing a new schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose of medication to catch up. When used for coma, take the missed dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume regular dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose.

STORAGE: Store at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 to 30 degrees C) away from heat and light. Do not store in the bathroom.
