Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long should I use MOMETAMAX Otic Suspension 7.5 g for my dog?

Ans: MOMETAMAX is meant to be applied once a day for a full seven days unless your vet tells you to follow a different plan. According to the manufacturer, using it longer than a week can slow down how quickly the area heals, so it’s important not to continue treatment past the recommended period.

Q2: Can MOMETAMAX be used if my dog’s eardrum is damaged?

Ans: No. The manufacturer specifically instructs that MOMETAMAX should not be used in dogs with a known perforated eardrum. Injuring medication into a ruptured ear can risk inner ear complications and should always be avoided.

Q3: What should I do before applying MOMETAMAX to my dog’s ears?

Ans: Before using MOMETAMAX, the ear canal should be checked thoroughly, cleaned, and dried. The manufacturer also recommends making sure the eardrum is intact, as this helps ensure the medication is used safely and prevents harm to the deeper parts of the ear.

Q4: What side effects should I watch for while using MOMETAMAX?

Ans: In field studies, less than one percent of dogs experienced ataxia, proprioceptive deficits, or increased water intake. The manufacturer also reports potential temporary hearing loss in sensitive dogs. Discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if these effects appear.

Q5: How should MOMETAMAX 7.5 g be stored after opening?

Ans: Store MOMETAMAX between 36 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit, shake well before use, and use within 28 days after opening. These guidelines help maintain the product’s stability and effectiveness throughout its recommended shelf-life.
