b.The drops are for the ear only and must never be instilled in the eye
c.The drops must be refrigerated and instilled cold

Giải thích
Otic products are not manufactured to be sterile and isotonic for ocular use, so instilling them in the eye can cause pain and injury; ophthalmic drops, by contrast, may be used in the ear. Otic drops are normally stored at room temperature, warmed slightly in the hand if cold, and are never diluted by the patient.
