DESCRIPTION:

EASOTIC Otic Suspension contains 1.11 mg/mL hydrocortisone aceponate, 17.4 mg/mL miconazole nitrate and 1.5 mg/mL gentamicin (as sulfate). The inactive ingredient is a semi-liquid petroleum jelly.

USES:

EASOTIC Otic Suspension. This anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial otic suspension (hydrocortisone aceponate, miconazole nitrate, gentamicin sulfate) is indicated for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs associated with susceptible strains of yeast (Malassezia pachydermatis) and bacteria (Staphylococcus pseudintermedius). The unique airless delivery system makes compliance easier for both pets and owners. One pump delivers an exact 1 mL dose every time. No messy drops to count, and the precise dose can be administered from any position. One canister will dose both ears of one dog for 5 days.

The preparation is also indicated in the management of dermatologic disorders characterized by inflammation and dry or exudative dermatitis, particularly those caused, complicated, or threatened by bacterial or candidal (Candida albicans) infections. It is also of value in eczematous dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis; and as an adjunct in the treatment of dermatitis due to parasitic infestation.

WARNINGS:

As a class, aminoglycoside antibiotics are associated with ototoxicity, vestibular dysfunction and renal toxicity. The use of EASOTIC Otic Suspension in a dog with a damaged tympanic membrane can result in damage to the structures of the ear associated with hearing and balance or in transmission of the infection to the middle or inner ear. Immediately discontinue use of EASOTIC Otic Suspension if hearing loss or signs of vestibular dysfunction are observed during treatment

Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

PRECAUTIONS:

Do not administer orally. Concurrent administration of potentially ototoxic drugs should be avoided. Use with caution in dogs with impaired hepatic or renal function (see ANIMAL SAFETY). Long-term use of topical otic corticosteroids has been associated with adrenocortical suppression and iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism in dogs (see ANIMAL SAFETY). The safe use of EASOTIC Otic Suspension in dogs used for breeding purposes, during pregnancy, or in lactating bitches, has not been evaluated.
