Neomycin, one of Tresaderm's active ingredients, is a potent antibiotic that is effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Thiabendazole, another active ingredient, kills or inhibits fungi. Tresaderm also contains dexamethasone, a corticosteroid that reduces the body's inflammatory response.

Tresaderm requires a prescription from your veterinarian.
