Easotic (Hydrocortisone, Gentamicin, Miconazole)

Easotic is a treatment for ear infections in dogs. It is a veterinary-prescribed treatment for otitis externa, an ear condition often caused by yeast or bacterial infections. Easotic comprises three active components: Hydrocortisone, a glucocorticoid with anti-inflammatory properties; Gentamicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic; and Miconazole nitrate, an antifungal. These ingredients work together to provide a comprehensive treatment for ear infections.

Easotic is a medication that uses a combination of three active ingredients to treat ear infections. Hydrocortisone is included to provide fast anti-inflammatory effects with minimal side effects on the body as a whole. Gentamicin is used to target bacterial infections, acting as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. Miconazole nitrate is a broad-spectrum antifungal that addresses the fungal aspects of the infection. This combination of ingredients ensures a comprehensive approach that reduces inflammation and addresses the root cause of the infection.

Follow your veterinarians instructions and give as directed. Easotic is administered with a pump action. Before initial use, prime the canister by pressing the pump 1 to 2 times. For application, carefully insert the cannula into the dog's external ear canal and administer 1 mL (one pump) once daily or as directed by your vet. Gently massage the dog's ear after administration. Wash hands after applying.

Easotic should not be used in dogs with hypersensitivity to its components or known tympanic membrane (ear drum) perforation. Its safety in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been established.

Ototoxicity, vestibular dysfunction, and renal toxicity are known risks associated with aminoglycoside antibiotics like Gentamicin sulphate. Usage in dogs with a damaged tympanic membrane (ear drum) could harm hearing and balance structures or worsen the infection. Reports of temporary hearing loss and skin redness at the application site have been noted, typically resolving upon discontinuation.

If any of the above present, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Store Easotic at room temperature, avoiding extreme heat. Keep out of reach of children and other pets.
