Pharmacological properties
ATC vet classification code QS02 – veterinary products used in otology. QS02CA04 – triamcinolone and antimicrobials. Neomycin – an aminoglycoside antibiotic with a bactericidal effect on gram-positive and most gram-negative bacteria (E. coli, Staphylococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Corynebacterium spp. and others). Nystatin – an antibiotic with a fungicidal effect. It is especially effective against Malassezia spp., Candida spp. Triamcinolone acetonide – a semi-synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and soothing effects. Permethrin – a synthetic pyrethroid with acaricidal and insecticidal properties. It disrupts sodium channels and blocks the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. Otodectes cynotis mites are especially sensitive to permethrin.
