Neomycin is an antibiotic, isoflupredone is a corticosteroid, and tetracaine is a topical anesthetic. This combination of the three active ingredients work together at the site of infection or wound to kill bacteria, provide anesthetic relief, and to decrease inflammation. Isoflupredone has a potent anti-inflammatory effect and works blocking the production of substances that trigger allergic and inflammatory actions. Tetracaine has a numbing effect on the nerves in the area applied, to reduce discomfort.

Neo-Predef with Tetracaine works promptly to decrease the symptoms, and the effects last for hours. The tetracaine and isoflupredone help to soothe the area and prevent further trauma from licking or scratching at the site.

This has been a game changer for our family. It works so well on so many injuries. We originally got the prescription for a dog with injuries after an altercation with another dog but we have used it on our dog that gets occasional hot spots that we have tried everything on with no success and this works perfectly. I can usually see improvement within 24 hours after the first application and rarely have to use it for more than two days. I also love that it is powder so it isn't messy and doesn't get everywhere. The dogs don't seem to want to lick it off as bad as other medicines either. Great product.

We have been using this product during the posting process of our dobie puppy's ears following a serious ear infection after the surgery. This powder has worked like a charm ever since, making our posting process stress free! Going on our 3rd week using it, we are very very happy.

For my dog's hot spots. I apply sparingly, ensure area clear of hair and dirt. After NUMEROUS treatments I no longer use anything else.

My veterinarian prescribed this product for my dog when he got irritation between his toes after I shaved them. It is soothing and he doesn’t lick it off.
