• Pyrethrins: A natural insecticide derived from chrysanthemums, highly effective at killing mites on contact.

• Other Soothing Agents: Help to reduce inflammation and promote healing within the ear canal.

How It Works

Otomite Plus works by directly targeting the mites in your pet’s ears. Upon application, the active ingredients immediately start eliminating mites on contact. The formulation also works to soothe the ear canal, reducing inflammation and preventing secondary infections. As the mites are killed, the product helps in breaking the lifecycle of the mites, ensuring that the infestation is thoroughly eradicated.

Directions for Use

Shake well before using. Cleanse ear thoroughly with a low pH ear cleanser, like Epi-Otic Advances Ear Cleanser. Place sufficient Otomite Plus in each ear to wet external ear canal.

Approximate rates: for each pound of body weight: 1 drop (max 15) for dogs and 2 drop (max 10) for cats. Spread product inside ear canal by massaging the ear.

Re-treat at least every 7 days, depending on the severity of the condition, but not more frequently than twice a week.

If condition does not resolve in 2 weeks, discontinue treatment and consult your veterinarian. If it is necessary to reuse an ear cleaner, re-treat afterwards with Otomite Plus.
