Oridermyl Ear Ointment for Dogs and Cats

Description

Indication: For the treatment of otitis externa caused by Otodectes cynotis and its associated secondary bacterial (Staphylococcus spp) and/or yeast infections in cats and kittens over 8 weeks of age and 1 kg of bodyweight.

Dosage and administration: The external ear canals should be cleaned before treatment. Attach the flexible cannula to the tube of ointment. The cannula must be vertically positioned to ensure accurate dosing. In adult cats instil exactly 8 drops of ointment (≈ 0.3 ml) into each ear. In kittens instil exactly 4 drops of ointment (≈ 0.15 ml) into each ear. Gently massage the base of the ears to uniformly disperse the ointment. Administer once daily for 10 consecutive days. Care should be taken to avoid staining the fur. Since otoacariasis is very contagious, both ears should be treated even if only one seems to be infested. Following 10 days of treatment, a veterinarian should re-evaluate the ears. If repeated treatment is required, an alternative treatment should be considered.

Contraindications: Do not use in animals with a perforated tympanic membrane. Do not use in cats with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Do not use in pregnant or lactating animals. Do not use in kittens less than 8 weeks of age or 1 kg of bodyweight. Do not administer to sick or debilitated cats.
