Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the active ingredient, and how does it work?

Ans: The active ingredient is Chlorhexidine Gluconate at a 0.15% concentration. It is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that targets bacteria and yeast on the skin and in the ear canal, while the TrizEDTA component disrupts biofilm to enhance overall antimicrobial effectiveness against resistant organisms.

Q2: Can the solution be used in both dogs and cats?

Ans: Yes, the formula is labeled for use in both dogs and cats. The gentle, water-based composition makes it appropriate across species when used as directed by a veterinarian, including for routine ear maintenance and active treatment of minor skin or ear concerns.

Q3: Is the product safe to use in the middle ear?

Ans: According to manufacturer information, the formulation has been shown to be safe for use in the middle ear of dogs and cats. However, caution is recommended when the status of the tympanic membrane is unknown, so always consult your veterinarian before use.

Q4: How does TrizEDTA improve the formula?

Ans: TrizEDTA is a buffered combination of Tromethamine and Disodium EDTA. It alkalinizes the treatment area, breaks down bacterial biofilm, and potentiates the action of chlorhexidine. This makes the flush more effective against resistant bacteria and treatment-resistant or mixed infections.

Q5: How often should the flush be applied?

Ans: Use the flush as directed by your veterinarian. Frequency depends on the condition being managed, severity of symptoms, and how the pet responds. Many pets benefit from daily use during active flare-ups, with reduced frequency for ongoing prevention and maintenance.

Q6: Can the solution be applied to wounds?

Ans: Yes, it is effective for wound irrigation and cleansing minor cuts and abrasions. The alcohol-free, preservative-free base makes it gentle on compromised skin. For deep, severe, or non-healing wounds, always seek veterinary guidance before treating at home.

Q7: Is the flush effective against resistant infections?

Ans: Yes, the formula has documented activity against multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcal infections. The combination of chlorhexidine and TrizEDTA penetrates bacterial biofilm, making it useful for managing treatment-resistant and mixed infections that may not respond to standard antimicrobial therapies alone.

Q8: Will the product irritate sensitive or open skin?

Ans: The formula is alcohol-free and preservative-free, making it non-irritating to ulcerated or abraded skin. However, if irritation develops or worsens during use, discontinue application immediately and consult your veterinarian for further evaluation and alternative treatment options.

Q9: How quickly should improvement be visible?

Ans: Results vary based on the condition and its severity. Consistent use as directed is essential for the best outcome. If your pet's condition does not improve or worsens, contact your veterinarian for a follow-up assessment and any necessary treatment adjustments.

Q10: How should the bottle be stored?

Ans: Store the bottle at room temperature in a cool, dry location with the cap tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children and other pets when not in use to prevent accidental ingestion or contamination.
