If overgrowth of non-susceptible bacteria, fungi, or yeasts occur, or if hypersensitivity develops, treatment should be discontinued, and appropriate therapy instituted. Do not use in pets with known perforation of eardrums. Associated use of drugs known to induce ear toxicity should be avoided. If hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Please contact your veterinarian if the following adverse reactions occur: hearing loss or balance problems, increased drinking and urination, topical or systemic allergic reaction or bacterial and fungal infections.

Vets have to prescribe those medicines off-label.Otomax is an ointment prescribed by your vet to treat your canine companions' acute or chronic ear infection. (On occasion, pharmaceutical companies don’t bother with the animal approval process, because there isn’t much of a market for veterinary cancer drugs, for example.
Animal trials, however, often contain about one-tenth as many patients. Just like ordinary medicines, veterinary drugs have to clear randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trials. The approval processes for human and animal drugs are entirely separate, although similar. In other cases, large companies working in both the medical and veterinary fields develop the two formulations side by side. (The active ingredient constitutes a minuscule fraction of the overall volume of any pills.) The company might also put more or less of a chemical that aids in absorption. For example, if the dose for dogs is less than for humans, they may have to add more binding agent to bulk the pill up to a manageable size. In such cases, manufacturers sometimes reformulate their drugs for sale to animal owners. Many animal drugs start off as human medications, because there is far more money invested in human drug research. So the state of Texas won’t buy its pentobarbital from the animal hospital, even though there is a super-concentrated veterinary dose specially formulated for euthanasia.
But just because the active ingredient is the same in human and animal formulations doesn’t mean the pills are identical-there’s often a difference in dosage, and the inactive ingredients may differ (in kind and amount) as well. Versions of some of our anti-anxiety medications and painkillers are approved for other species as well. Many, and perhaps most, antibiotics are approved for use in humans and animals. Dogs, cats, horses, and sheep regularly take the same medicines as wounded bipedals. Do doctors and veterinarians use a lot of the same medications?Ībsolutely.
Pentobarbital, the proposed replacement, is commonly used in animal euthanasia. The state’s supply of sodium thiopental expired in March, and there is a worldwide shortage of the chemical agent. A Texas death row inmate is challenging the substitution of pentobarbital for the more traditional sodium thiopental as the initial, anesthetizing drug in his three-drug execution cocktail.
