What is Posatex Otic Suspension for Dogs and Cats?
- Posatex is a prescription ear medication for dogs or cats that treats otitis externa, outer ear infection, caused by yeast and bacteria.
- Posatex contains orbifloxacin, mometasone, and posaconazole - an antibiotoc, an anti-inflammatory steroid, and an antifungal.
- Posatex works by killing infection causing bacteria and yeast in the ear and reducing the swelling and redness often associated with ear infections.
Why is Posatex used for cats and dogs?
- If your dog or cat has been diagnosed with otitis externa or an ear infection, your veterinarian may prescribe a suspension such as Posatex.
- Posatex kills the yeast and bacteria causing the infection and has a steroid to treat swelling and redness.
What else should I know about Posatex?
- Posatex should be discontinued at least two weeks prior to allergy testing.
- Dispose of the Posatex according to local regulations. Do not pour it down the drain.
What problems could my dog or cat have with Posatex?
- Do not allow the suspension to get into your pet's eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Do not use in dogs with damaged ear drums.
- Your pet may experience some redness or discomfort at the application site.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice the infection is not healing or is getting worse.
- Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, sudden hearing loss, increasingly worse ear pain, head tilt, walking in circles, mouth sores, increased thirst, frequent urination, or worsening skin and hair issues at the application site.
How do you use Posatex?
- Shake well before use.
- Prevent your dog or cat and other animals from licking or grooming the treated ears for at least 20 to 30 minutes after application.

Will I get what I see in the picture?

Is it important for my dog or cat to finish all of the Posatex?
- Posatex contains an antibiotic and an antifungal. Resistance is a major concern when using antibiotics and antifungals. To help avoid resistance, it is important for you to use this for as long as your veterinarian has prescribed, even if you dog or cat is looking and feeling better.

Posatex otic suspension
I bought this medicine for my moochie's ear infection about two weeks ago. He is a lab and is consistently in the water so ear infections can be challenging to say the least! This medication works very well and he is all better and even worked with him getting in the water! Great product, thanks vetrx...here he is!!

Hearing loss
I've used this many times for my dog's ear infections, and they always respond well, and clear up quickly. However, this past time, my dog seems to have lost his hearing. After some research it seems that can be a side affect, which may or may not return. I feel terrible, and I know he must be scared and confused. Please be careful using this product.

Dangerous for Older Dogs
From Summerville, SCComments about Posatex Otic SuspensionMy vet gave us this to use in our dogs ears. She is 14 and it caused her to go completely deaf. I have reported this to both Merck and my vet and it seems there is little to nothing that can be done beside wait and hope. DANGEROUS PRODUCT! -

Best RELIEF for Dog's Ears!!
From UndisclosedComments about Posatex Otic Suspension 15g BottleThis is the BEST RELIEF I've found for my dog's ears! She has chronic ear infections, and her Vet loves the quick results we get with this med. After cleaning the ear, and then applying drops of this med, my dog gets almost immediate relief from the itch and swelling. Long lasting, & no smell, affordable too! My Vet & I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product. -
Miracle ear medication.
From UndisclosedComments about Posatex Otic Suspension 15g BottleCole likes to swim. He's a beautiful English Lab, heavy boned, weighing in at 120 lbs. We take a 5 mile walk everyday through timber to the Racoon river, he fetches sticks I throw into the current,and brings them back to do all over again. Lately he was shaking his head side to side so I realized he had an ear infection from the river water, after using Posatex otic Suspension for one week he's back to normal, no more bad smell,or head shaking.-

Q & A

Does posatex Otic or RxMometamax Otic Suspension require a RX??
-
Lori, Both Posatex Otic Suspension and Mometamax Otic Suspension require a prescription from a licensed veterinarian. Veterinarians can provide approval in a couple of different ways. Once an order is placed we will fax over to your pet's veterinarian for approval, unless you have indicated that you will be mailing a prescription. Whether you are mailing, or your pet's veterinarian is faxing the approval to us, once we receive the prescription, we will process the order and ship it out. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Is this medication safe for cats??

Gail, Posatex Otic Suspension is only labeled for use in dogs. However, many pet medicines, including medicine labeled for humans, may be used off-label in cats on the order and advice of your cat's veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect
