Product Overview

Eprinomectin OTC Ointment is a specialized skin preparation designed for dogs and cats, formulated to address skin conditions caused by mites and bacteria. This ointment contains 0.5% Eprinomectin and 2.5% Oxytetracycline in a water-washable (W/W) cream base, providing a dual-action treatment in a 50g tube.

Composition

Each gram of Eprinomectin OTC Ointment contains:

• Eprinomectin: 5 mg
• Oxytetracycline: 25 mg

These active ingredients work synergistically to combat parasitic and bacterial infections on the skin of dogs and cats.

Mechanism of Action

Eprinomectin OTC Ointment combines two potent active ingredients:

• Eprinomectin: A macrocyclic lactone fermentation product that interferes with parasitic nerve transmission, effectively targeting a wide range of parasites, including mites of the Psoroptic species.
• Oxytetracycline: A broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the tetracycline group, which inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas, as well as bacteria sensitive to oxytetracycline.

Indications

This ointment is indicated for the treatment of skin conditions in dogs and cats caused by:

• Mites of the Psoroptic species.
• Bacteria sensitive to oxytetracycline, including gram-positive and gram-negative strains.
