Otomax Uses Courses

Otomax is a topical ear medication used to treat infections and inflammation of the ear in both dogs and cats. This non-prescription medication is useful in treating a variety of ear disorders such as otitis externa, otitis media, and otitis interna, as well as ear mites, infected ears, and ear wax buildup. It is also used to treat painful conditions such as chronic ear infections or ear pain due to allergies. Otomax contains the active ingredient florfenicol, an antibiotic, which helps to fight the infection and reduce inflammation. Additionally, it also contains several other inactive ingredients, including corticosteroids, which can help to decrease the swelling and itching associated with ear inflammation. The medication is typically used as a topical ointment, and is designed to be applied directly to the ear canal. It then drips down into the ear, and is absorbed through the skin. Otomax can also be administered by mouth, but this method is not as effective, as the components of the medication cannot be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. Otomax is generally recommended for short-term use, as the long-term use of corticosteroids can lead to adverse side effects such as increased risk of infection, poor wound healing, and increased risk of laminitis (a potentially painful inflammation of the feet). Otomax is also generally used in conjunction with other treatments, such as proper cleaning and drying of the ear and oral antibiotics. Additionally, it is recommended to regularly check the ear with an otoscope or a flashlight to look for any changes or signs of infection or irritation.
