What are Aurizon Ear Drops?

Aurizon ear drops are a veterinary medication used to treat ear infections in dogs. The active ingredients in Aurizon ear drops are Marbofloxacin, Clotrimazole, and Dexamethasone. Marbofloxacin is an antibiotic that helps in treating bacterial infections. Clotrimazole is an antifungal agent effective against yeast and fungi. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation.

How does it work?

  • Marbofloxacin: Works by disrupting DNA formation in bacteria, preventing their growth and multiplication.
  • Clotrimazole: Targets the cell membrane of fungi, causing cell death and treating the infection.
  • Dexamethasone: Reduces inflammation and pain associated with ear infections.
