Long-lasting otic gel for otitis externa

Otitis externa is a common skin disease in dogs, accounting for 22% of dermatology patients and 13 to 16% of the general hospital population. Otitis externa is often complicated by bacterial and/or yeast (Malassezia) infection that requires specific otic topical therapy. Treatment protocols for this purpose are usually based on ear cleaning aimed at eliminating excessive debris and exudates followed by once or twice daily administration of antibacterial/antimycotic/corticosteroid-containing otic solutions.
