Amikacin & Dexamethasone Otic Solution Compounded for Dogs
Amikacin & Dexamethasone Otic Solution Compounded for Dogs
Overview – Amikacin & Dexamethasone Otic Solution
Amikacin & Dexamethasone Otic Solution is a compounded veterinary medication
prepared exclusively from a licensed veterinarian’s prescription. This customized otic
formulation combines amikacin and dexamethasone in a liquid dosage form designed for
topical administration in the canine ear.
Because every patient is unique, this compounded preparation allows veterinarians to
request specific concentrations, volumes, and excipients when a commercially available
product does not meet a dog’s individual needs.
Why a Compounded Otic Solution May Be Prescribed
Veterinarians may determine that a compounded otic medication is appropriate when a dog
requires customization beyond what standard products can provide. For example, a
prescription may call for:
- A customized drug combination
- A specific concentration or strength
- An alternative formulation due to ingredient sensitivity
- A prescription-specific volume based on the treatment plan
As a result, compounding supports individualized care while following a veterinarian’s
clinical judgment.
About the Active Ingredients
- Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that veterinarians may select based on
culture, sensitivity, and prescribing considerations.
