How to Give Otic Suspension Ear Medication

Otic suspension are creamy ear meds that coat the ear canal to treat infections or inflammation. Here’s how to give them safely:

  1. Warm the medication in your hands for a minute (don’t overheat).
  2. Secure your pet comfortably. Lift the ear flap to straighten the canal.
  3. Clean the ear first only if your vet advised it.
  4. Add drops: Use the dropper or syringe to apply the prescribed amount into the ear canal. Don’t insert too deep into the ear canal.
  5. Massage the base of the ear for 20–30 seconds to help spread the medicine.
  6. Let your pet shake their head, then gently wipe away any excess.
  7. Repeat for the other ear if needed.
  8. Praise, treat, and wash your hands.
  9. Use for the full duration prescribed—don’t stop early, even if the ear looks better.

Gentamicin, mometasone and clotrimazole, commercially available as Motazol, is an otic suspension utilized for localized management of mixed infections. It is a prescription medication available for use in dogs, requiring professional guidance from a licensed veterinarian. It is frequently considered in the context of ear infections for patients presented with bacteria, yeast and localized inflammation.

The actions described here reflect the product's FDA-approved labeling; your veterinarian determines the appropriate use for your animal.

Prescription only. Use only under the direction of a licensed veterinarian. This information is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis, prescribing or monitoring.

At a pharmacological level, the combination is considered to influence the bacterial and fungal environment while modulating the localized inflammatory response. Commonly observed effects include localized changes such as mild redness, temporary discharge or increased sensitivity at the site of application. Ensuring the tympanic membrane is intact is a high-priority clinical consideration before use. Owners should watch for behavioral shifts including a head tilt or loss of balance and contact their veterinarian promptly with any concerns regarding the patient's response to the medication.

Do I need a prescription for Motazol?

Yes. Motazol is a prescription otic medication and requires a valid authorization from a licensed veterinarian. Mixlab ensures all legal and professional standards are met before dispensing.

Can Motazol be compounded?

Motazol is a commercial formulation. If your veterinarian determines that a customized strength or different combination is necessary for your dog, Mixlab specializes in compounding these active ingredients based on a valid prescription.

Why is there a steroid in this ear drop?

Veterinarians consider mometasone because it is considered to influence the swelling and discomfort inside the ear canal. This provides a method for improving your dog's comfort while the other ingredients address the infection.

What if my dog's ear looks redder after use?

Mild, temporary redness can be a commonly observed effect, but persistent irritation should be reported. Your veterinarian will determine if the management approach remains suitable for your pet's health status.

Does my dog need a follow-up exam?

Veterinarians typically recommend a follow-up exam to ensure the infection is resolving. This provides a method for determining the appropriate duration of the management approach.
