Canaural is specifically formulated for the treatment of otitis externa and Otodectes cynotis infestation.
Ingredients
Diethanolamine fusidate (fusidic acid) is an antibiotic highly active against gram-positive microorganisms, specifically Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, the most commonly found bacterial pathogen in otitis externa in dogs and cats. Fusidic acid remains active in pus and has skin-penetrating properties that enhance its antibacterial properties.
Framycetin sulfate is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against gram-negative organisms associated with otitis externa, particularly Pseudomonas spp. and Proteus spp. Framycetin is in the aminoglycoside family (can be ototoxic).
Nystatin is highly active against yeast. Malassezia canis is associated with otitis externa in dogs and cats, either alone or with other organisms.
Prednisolone is incorporated for its anti-inflammatory activity.
Trials have demonstrated that Canaural is effective in treating the ear mite Otodectes cynotis.
All 4 active ingredients are suspended in sesame oil that softens and dissolves ceruminous material and readily penetrates the ear canal. Additionally, the oil used does not mat the hair around the ear and can flow readily into nooks and crevices.
