Dermalone

Neomycin and Nystatin Ointment for Cats & Dogs

Dermalone treats ear infections, interdigital cysts, and dry, inflammatory dermatitis conditions in cats and dogs. It also treats anal gland infections in dogs. This product provides antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antipruritic action to clear up conditions and help manage their symptoms during healing. Dermalone is safe for frequent use when needed, but effective enough for once-daily or even once-weekly applications in many instances.

• Treats anal gland infections in dogs
• Manages dry, inflammatory skin conditions, especially those involving or vulnerable to bacteria and fungus, including eczematous, seborrheic, and contact dermatitis
• Effective against bacterial and fungal infections
• Reduces inflammation and itchiness
• Safe for multiple uses per day in extreme circumstances
• Potent, often requiring application only once per day or week

Review all manufacturer-provided instructions and warnings before use.

Use exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian.

Directions:

1. For the treatment of cysts and infected anal glands, drain gland or cyst, then fill with ointment.
2. For the treatment of otitis, clean the ear of wax, ticks, debris, and other foreign matter. Instill 3 to 5 drops of Dermalone as prescribed. Begin with a local anesthetic if your veterinarian recommends doing so.
3. For the treatment of skin conditions, clean the affected area and remove any crust. Apply a thin layer of Dermalone over the area.

Frequency of Use:

Frequency of use varies widely. Dermalone may be applied 2 to 3 times per day in some circumstances, once per day in others, or less often. Use as prescribed.

Store Dermalone at room temperature, below 86 degrees F. Protect from heat.

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Dermalone contains nystatin, a compound that kills yeast and fungus. It is also made with thiostrepton, a potent antibacterial agent that works against many gram-positive bacteria, including some strains that are resistant to other antibiotics. The formulation also includes neomycin, an antibacterial agent that works against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Triamcinolone acetonide, another active ingredient in Dermalone, is a synthetic corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itchiness.

Dermalone Active Ingredients (per mL): Nystatin 100,000 units, neomycin sulfate (equivalent to neomycin base) 2.5 mg, thiostrepton 2,500 units, triamcinolone acetonide 1.0 mg in a polyethylene and mineral oil gel base

Dermalone is only intended for use on cats and dogs. Do not apply to other species. Do not use on any animal for which it was not prescribed. Not for use on humans.

CAUTION: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian.

Oral and injected steroids have been shown to have adverse effects on pregnant animals and their fetuses.

This product is generally well tolerated and skin reactions are very rare. Individual sensitivities may occur. Consult your veterinarian about any side effects in your pet.

Neomycin may cause irritation, redness, or swelling at the site of application. If these symptoms persist, discontinue use of Dermalone and consult your veterinarian.

Treatment of otitis with products containing corticosteroids may cause hearing loss, usually temporary. Discontinue application and consult your veterinarian if you observe any hearing dysfunction with treatment.

Vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), increased hunger or thirst, and elevated SAP and SGP enzyme levels have resulted from systemic and parenteral administration of synthetic corticosteroids in dogs.

Prolonged or repeated corticosteroid therapy in dogs may cause Cushing's syndrome.

Systemic reactions are very rare with topical applications. However, there is some evidence that corticosteroids may be absorbed through the skin, triggering systemic reactions. Monitor treated pets for excessive hunger or thirst or weight gain and consult your veterinarian if you observe any of these signs.

In the event of accidental ingestion, consult your veterinarian right away. In the event of accidental human ingestion, contact your doctor or a poison control center immediately. Have the product label on hand.
