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.
