Safety Information

Do not use MOMETAMAX® Otic Suspension in pregnant dogs. The use of these components has been associated with deafness or partial hearing loss in a small number of sensitive dogs (e.g., geriatric), although it is usually temporary. If hearing or vestibular dysfunction is noted, discontinue use immediately and flush the ear canal thoroughly with a non-ototoxic solution. If hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Simultaneous use of drugs known to induce ototoxicity should be avoided. Do not use in dogs with known tympanic perforation. Administration of recommended doses beyond 7 days may result in delayed wound healing. Avoid ingestion.2
