UsesMometamax Otic Suspension is indicated for the treatment of ear infection in pets caused by susceptible strains of yeast and bacteria.
Possible Side EffectsPlease contact your veterinarian if the following adverse reactions occur: hearing loss or balance problems, increased drinking and urination, weight gain, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Drug & Food InteractionsIf hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted. Associated use of drugs known to induce ear toxicity should be avoided. Do not use in pets with known perforation of eardrums.
Precautions
Before instilling any medication into the ear, examine the external ear canal thoroughly to be certain the outer and middle ear is not ruptured in order to avoid the possibility of transmitting infection, as well as damaging the inner ear from prolonged contact. Administration of recommended doses beyond seven days may result in delayed wound healing. If overgrowth of non-susceptible bacteria or fungi occurs, treatment should be discontinued, and appropriate therapy instituted. Avoid ingestion. Pets should be closely observed for sodium retention, potassium loss, fluid retention, weight gain, excessive thirst, and/or excessive dilute urine. Prolonged use or over-dosage may produce adverse effects.

Lifesaver for ear issues
By alma82 on Apr 26, 2020
This medication has saved our lives! My dog has chronic allergies and yeast infections that affect his ears badly and without this medication, it’s an $800 vet visit to get it back under control. As long as I use this as my vet has directed he is totally fine all season long!

Mometamax Review
By Dogmom on Apr 8, 2020
I have been using this product for my dog for several years. It works great BUT I pay much less for it when I purchase it directly from my vet, around $25.00.

RX medication
By Dale on Feb 26, 2020
I received this prescription in a matter of days. It involved Chewy contacting my veterinarian for the prescription. I thought it would take at least a week. I received it in about 3-4 days. It appears Chewy has a good organizational team.

Worked immediately
By Sargento on Jan 26, 2020
While this does require a prescription, it works great! My dog had a yeast infection in his ears. I tried another brand for over a week with no luck. With this, my dog felt relief immediately, and his infection was gone in 3 days!

Caused deafness
By Debra on Dec 18, 2019
This was administered as directed by a veterinarian for an ear infection. Our 10yr old pug with normal hearing before treatment is now profoundly deaf. I wish I'd know that this was a documented side affect. Avoid this and look for safer alternatives.
