Mometamax Otic Suspension for Dogs

Mometamax Otic Suspension for Dogs

Fast-Acting Ear Infection Treatment

Mometamax Otic Suspension is a prescription ear medication specifically formulated for dogs suffering from otitis externa—a common inflammation of the outer ear canal caused by bacterial or fungal infections. This broad-spectrum topical otic treatment combines three powerful active ingredients: mometasone furoate (a corticosteroid), gentamicin sulfate (an antibiotic), and clotrimazole (an antifungal). Together, they target inflammation, bacteria, and yeast—the three primary culprits behind painful ear infections in dogs.

Used as directed, Mometamax provides rapid relief from symptoms such as:

• Ear discharge
• Swelling
• Redness
• Scratching and head shaking
• Foul odor from ears

Mometamax is veterinarian-recommended for both acute and chronic ear infections, especially those involving Malassezia pachydermatis (yeast) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa (bacteria).

Prescription items are NON-RETURNABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE.
