Otitis externa.
Symptomatic treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis of the auricle.
Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to corticosteroids, salicylic acid or to any of the excipients.
Do not use in animals with perforated tympanic membrane, as the product may be ototoxic. Do not use in dogs with demodicosis.
For an effective treatment of otitis externa it is essential that the ear canal is meticulously cleaned and dried before first treatment to remove cerumen and/or exudate. Excess hair around the treatment area should be clipped if necessary.
For an effective treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis existing scale and or exfoliative debris should be removed. Hair surrounding or covering the lesions may need to be clipped to enable the veterinary medicinal product to reach the affected skin.
Otitis externa and seborrhoeic dermatitis may be primary disorders, but can also occur as a result of underlying disorders or disease processes (e.g. allergic disorders, endocrine disorders, neoplasia). Furthermore, infections (bacterial, parasitic or fungal) commonly occur concurrently with seborrhoeic dermatitis or may complicate cases of otitis externa. Therefore it is essential to identify any underlying disease process and initiate specific treatment if considered necessary.
Special precautions for use in animals
The maximum dose that may be administered is 7 drops per kg body weight per day. The recommended treatment dose (8-10 drops per ear; once or twice daily) should not exceed 7 drops per kg bodyweight per day. Care should be taken not to exceed this amount, particularly when treating smaller animals or when both ears require treatment. In cases of otitis externa with an infectious component (bacterial, parasitic or fungal) specific treatment should be administered if considered necessary.
Systemic corticosteroid effects are possible, especially when the product is ingested by licking.
Oral ingestion (including licking) of the product by treated animals or animals having contact with treated animals should be avoided. Additional corticosteroid treatment should be used only according to the benefit/risk assessment of the responsible veterinarian. Use with caution in animals with suspected or confirmed endocrine disorders (i.e. diabetes mellitus; hypo- or hyper-thyroidism, hyperadrenocorticism etc.). Since glucocorticosteroids are known to slow growth, use in young animals (under 7 months of age) should be based on a benefit/risk assessment by the attending veterinarian and subject to regular clinical re-evaluations.
Care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply the veterinary medicinal product on damaged skin. If hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, the ear should be thoroughly washed.
