MalOtic Ointment for Dogs and Cats
>Many dogs have infection-prone ears. If that’s the case with your pup, talk to your veterinarian about MalOtic. This potent mixture of three healing agents helps reduce pain, swelling, and itching due to ear infection. MalOtic is a corticosteroid that is often prescribed by veterinarians to clear up ear infections in dogs. Three active ingredients – gentamicin sulfate, betamethasone valerate, and clotrimazole – work together to reduce inflammation, itching, and pain in the ear. MalOtic can also help reduce ear wax production. If your dog also needs antimicrobials, MalOtic can be combined with them. This medication comes in two formulations: ear drops and ointment.
- Decreases inflammation, itching, and pain
- Helps reduce ear wax production
- Easy to apply topical treatment for dogs
- Choose ear drops or ointment
What you should know about MalOtic:
- 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.

Fast, Easy, Cost Effective AND Customer Friendly!
I have a per who needs a topical medication for condition maintenance (seems to be not remedy for his condition). The topical we use does not come in a very large size and is by prescription only. The cost for the topical (although higher at a Vets. office still) is not real high. However, if I had to go to the Vet every few weeks that cost could get out of control (office visit plus topical). However, through VetRxDirect, I can order several tubes per order at a very reasonable cost and pay a small shipping (same charge for a few as is for 1 tube) and find it in my mailbox in a few of days. They take care of the prescription part by communicating with my Vet. So very easy, great cost and service and I never have to wait to keep my pets condition under control! A+++++

Successful Ear Infection Treatment: Methods and Cautions
From undisclosedComments about MalOtic OintmentI purchased this product after much research to successfully self-treat a yeast infection in my service animal's ear. EAR INFECTION TREATMENT: Yeast MATERIALS: Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleanser MalOtic Ointment METHOD: Cleansing; First fill the dog's infected ear(s) with the Epi-Otic Advanced Ear Cleanser wash to ensure that the ear canal has been cleared of most particulate matter, yeast spores and other detritus. Once the ear is nearly full of this pleasant smelling liquid I apply gentle pressure upon the soft tissue just below the ear opening in a circular motion, causing the canal walls to rub against one another with just enough friction to cleanse them and as well circulate the applied fluid throughout. There is no need to drain the ear of the solution as the dog will certainly shake most of it out. I then wait between one-half to one full hour for the remainder of the solution to evaporate. Then I apply the MalOtic Ointment medication, squeezing small amounts of the thick, white, greasy gel onto the walls of the ear canal, attempting especially to fill the smaller, less accessible crevasses. Once I am satisfied that the medication has been sufficiently distributed throughout I again, with the same aforementioned circular pressure upon the soft areas, distribute the medication throughout the ear canal. CAUTIONS: Because of both the possibility of an incomplete eradication of the yeast colony as well as the resistance acquired by surviving generations the cleansing and medicating should be done at least twice, the second application within a few days to a week of the first. The previously infected area should then be checked several times a week throughout the following month for an unlikely, but possible reinfection. If infection again occurs it is strongly suggested that you contact your Veterinarian for an thorough examination. I hope that this review is helpful. -

Jaxson, This dosage form is formulated for the treatment of infections found in the ears. This medication should not be applied in the eye(s) or any mucous membrane due to the risk of severe irritation. Your dog’s veterinarian will need to diagnosis the affected eye(s) to determine the best course of treatment for your pet. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Why does the insert only give dosage info for the drops but not the gel? 8 drops of liquid does not tell me how many grams (or tenths of a gram) of gel to use in the syringe. Help.?
-
Seymour, The dosing of MalOtic depends on your pet’s weight and the infection you are treating and dosing is also based on drops and not grams of medication. It is possible to dose the ointment out by drops after you attach the applicator tip provided. If your prescription label does not have any directions on it, it would be best to contact your pet's veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

MalOtic ointment is a prescribed antimicrobial agent containing a corticosteroid indicated for use in treating ear infections found in dogs. Your pet's veterinarian may prescribe this medication for off-label use to treat skin infections by topical application. This will require the diagnosis by your pet's veterinarian to determine if this drug therapy is appropriate for your pet. Thank you, VetRxDirect

-
should the rx malotic drops be refrigerated before and after opening??
-
MalOtic ointment does not require refrigeration either before or after opening. The storage recommendation from the manufacturer is that it should be stored between 36° and 77°F (2° and 25°C). If there are concerns that it may reach a higher temperature being stored outside of the refrigerator, it may be stored in refrigeration, provided it stays above 36°. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Is this product the same as bnt ointment for ear infections in dogs? Thanks Lisa?
-
Lisa, A search for BCP BNT Otic Ointment revealed the ingredients to include Enrofloxacin, Ketoconazole and triamcinolone. In order these are an antibiotic, an antifungal and a corticosteroid. Most prescription ear infection ointments for pets include this same three way approach, but with different drugs. Posatex for example, contains Orbifloxacin, Posaconazole and Mometasone. While these three drugs are in the same respective drug classes as the drugs in BCP BNT, they may or may not work for your pet's ear infection. Your dog's veterinarian is the best source for information on which ear medications are best. Your veterinarian will prescribe the best pet ear med for the type of infection in your dog's ears. Thank you, VetRxDirect
