Mometamax is indicated for the treatment of otitis externa (ear canal inflammation/infection) in dogs caused by or complicated by bacteria, fungi, and inflammation. It is typically prescribed when the infection involves multiple causative organisms or when there is significant inflammation present.
Mometamax contains three active ingredients: mometasone (a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching), gentamicin (an antibiotic that kills susceptible bacteria), and clotrimazole (an antifungal that treats fungal infections). Together, these components address the inflammatory, bacterial, and fungal components of ear infections.
Mometamax is for veterinary use only and should be prescribed by a veterinarian. Do not use in cats without explicit veterinary direction. Avoid use in dogs with perforated eardrums. Common side effects may include local irritation. Use for the full duration prescribed even if symptoms improve earlier.
