Gentizol Ointment for Dogs

Canine ear infections associated with a yeast infection require special treatment. If your dog has this kind of ear infection, your veterinarian may prescribe Gentizol Ointment because it combines an antibiotic, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory into one convenient topical medication.

  • Treats canine ear infections due to yeast
  • Three treatments in one—antibiotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory
  • Soothing ointment is easy to apply

Chronic or acute ear infections, also called “otitis externa,” can be caused by a certain type of yeast called Malassezia pachydermatis. Yeast can grow quickly in the ear’s warm, moist environment causing pain, itching, irritation, and swelling and making your dog very uncomfortable. Gentizol Ointment is specifically formulated to treat ear infections due to yeast. This prescription medication combines three active ingredients, including gentamicin (an antibiotic), betamethasone (a steroid), and clotrimazole (an antifungal), to fight bacteria and fungi, and reduce swelling. The powerful trio works quickly and the topical ointment formulation is soothing on your dog’s ear.

What you should know about Gentizol Ointment:

  • Talk to your veterinarian before using this product.
  • Follow dosing directions exactly - don’t give your pet more medication than directed and don’t skip doses.
  • Read the label carefully for information about storage, possible side effects, and drug interactions.

Resistance is a major concern when giving antibiotics. Resistance occurs when bacteria survive and mutate and are then able to survive even after antibiotics are given. To help avoid any resistance, it is important to give antibiotics as they are prescribed for as long as they are prescribed even if your pet is looking and feeling better.
