How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This otic solution is a compounded formulation specifically designed for veterinary use, containing three active ingredients: Hydrocortisone 1%, Gentamicin 3.2 mg/ml, and Polymyxin B 10,000 U/ml. Hydrocortisone, a corticosteroid, works to alleviate inflammation and itching, while Gentamicin and Polymyxin B, both antibiotics, are effective in combating bacterial infections. This combination makes the solution particularly effective in treating bacterial and inflammatory ear conditions in animals.

The solution is administered directly into the ear canal of the affected animal, using a specific ear dropper or applicator. Prior to use, it is recommended to warm the solution to body temperature to ensure comfort and efficacy. The solution should be instilled into the ear canal and gently massaged to ensure thorough distribution. The recommended dosage is twice daily for a period of 7-10 days, or as directed by a veterinary professional.

It is crucial to avoid using this otic solution in animals with a known hypersensitivity to any of the active ingredients. Additionally, it should not be used in animals with a perforated eardrum, as this could lead to further complications.
