Prolonged and extensive use of topical corticosteroid preparations is known to trigger local and systemic effects, including suppression of adrenal function, thinning of the epidermis and delayed healing. If you notice any serious effects or other effects not mentioned in this package leaflet, please inform your veterinary surgeon.
Dogs and cats.
For auricular and cutaneous use. Shake 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.
Clean the external ear canal and auricle and place 5 drops of the veterinary medicinal product into the external auditory canal twice a day. Massage the ear and the auditory canal thoroughly to ensure proper distribution of the active substances, but gently enough to avoid causing pain to the animal. Treatment should be continued without interruption until a few days after complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms, at least for 7 - 10 days up to 14 days.
Where concurrent ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestation is present, consideration should be given to treating both ears even if infestation is only apparent in one ear. Instill 5 drops twice daily for 14 days.
Apply a few drops of the veterinary medicinal product to the skin lesions to be treated twice a day and rub well. Treatment should be continued without interruption until a few days after complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms, up to 14 days. In some persistent cases (ear or skin infections), treatment may need to be continued for 2 to 3 weeks. However, if prolonged treatment is necessary, the veterinarian should be contacted for a repeat clinical examination.
Shake well before use. See Special warnings section.
