Zn4.5 Otic™ is 'First-Line’ for fostering healing or returning the micro-environment of the ear to normality. Chronic Pseudomonas ears require powerful antibiotics and steroids but Zn 4.5 Otic™ can be used as an adjunct in these situations for restoration in a shorter period of time.

Application Directions
For initial application cleanse the ear canal with a suitable cleanser. Fill the ear canal with Zn 4.5 Otic™ massage the base of the ear canal and let dry. For subsequent applications apply 5-8 drops in the ear canal twice daily. Ears should be re-evaluated by a veterinarian on a regular basis. If undue irritation develops or increases discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

Safety
MAXI/GUARD® Zn 4.5 Otic™ is a very safe product. Zinc gluconate and the amino acids Taurine and L-lysine have wide margins of safety.

Tolerability
Due to the zinc and amino acid utility this product works well without the extremely low pH or higher concentration of boric acid in other ear car products. Zn 4.5 Otic™ is well tolerated in most ear care situations.
