Dosage and administration
This product is for topical administration. Shake the bottle well before use. At the beginning of treatment, hair surrounding or covering the lesions must be clipped; this should be repeated during treatment if necessary.
Ears
Clean the auditory canal and place a few drops of the product into the ear twice daily. For infections caused by Otodectes cynotis, instill five drops twice daily for 14 days. Massage the ear and the auditory canal gently but thoroughly to obtain optimum distribution.
Skin
Having ensured the area to be treated is clean, apply a few drops of the product (depending on lesion size) twice a day and rub well.
Treatment should be continued until a few days after complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms. In some obstinate cases, 2 to 3 weeks treatment may be necessary.
Where ear mite infestation is present, consideration should be given to treating both ears even if infestation is only apparent in one ear.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use in animals with perforated ear drums since polymixin B is known to be a potential ototoxic agent.
Long term use of topical steroids may cause skin thinning and delay wound healing. Corticosteroids are not recommended for use in pregnant animals.
As Surolan is a prescription only medicine, treatment should be closely supervised by a veterinary practitioner. Due to likely variability (time, geographical) in the occurrence of resistance of bacteria for Polymyxin B, bacteriological sampling and susceptibility testing are recommended.
For external use only.
Overdose
No toxic side effects have been observed after accidental intake by licking.
