Osurnia for Dogs - Otic Gel 1mL (Box20 - 10 Dose) - [Ear Health]

Osurnia is formulated for dogs to help treat otitis externa an infection of the ear canal better known as swimmer's ears in humans. While there are many causes for otitis externa in dogs, Osurnia is designed to help your pal feel better. It applies like a liquid and stays like a gel, which penetrates deep. It's built to coat and adhere to the entire ear canal, increasing contact time at the infection site. Osurnia even works with your canine companion's natural ear cleaning process and is gradually removed over time.

How It Works

Florfenicol, one of the ingredients, prevents the growth of bacteria. Terbinafine is an antifungal, which prevents the growth of fungi, and betamethasone acetate exhibits anti-inflammatory activity.

Indications

OSURNIA is indicated for the treatment of otitis externa in dogs associated with susceptible strains of bacteria (Staphylococcus pseudintermedius) and yeast (Malassezia pachydermatis).
