Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is EASOTIC used for in dogs?

Ans: EASOTIC is prescribed for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs caused by susceptible yeast such as Malassezia pachydermatis and bacteria, including Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. It combines anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial ingredients to address multiple causes of ear infections simultaneously when used under veterinary supervision.

Q2: How often should I apply EASOTIC to my dog’s ear?

Ans: The recommended dosage is one pump, equivalent to 1 ml, into the affected ear once daily for five consecutive days. The medication should only be used according to the veterinarian's instructions, and the eardrum must be verified intact before administration to prevent complications.

Q3: Can EASOTIC be used if my dog has a ruptured eardrum?

Ans: No, EASOTIC should not be used in dogs with a known or suspected tympanic membrane perforation. Using aminoglycoside-containing ear medications when the eardrum is damaged may cause hearing loss, balance problems, or spread infection to deeper ear structures.

Q4: Are there any side effects associated with EASOTIC?

Ans: Reported side effects include temporary hearing loss and redness at the application site. These effects were generally transient and resolved after discontinuation of treatment. If hearing changes or balance problems occur, treatment should be stopped immediately, and veterinary advice should be sought promptly.

Q5: Is EASOTIC safe for pregnant or breeding dogs?

Ans: The safe use of EASOTIC has not been evaluated in dogs used for breeding, during pregnancy, or in lactating females. Veterinarians should carefully assess risks and benefits before prescribing this medication to dogs in these categories to ensure appropriate treatment decisions.
