In cases of persistent infestations with Otodectes cynotis (ear mites) systemic treatment with an appropriate acaricide should be considered. Before treating with the product, the integrity of the tympanic membrane must be verified. Systemic corticosteroid effects are possible, especially when the product is used under an occlusive dressing, on extensive skin lesions, with increased skin blood flow, or if the product is ingested by licking.
