Ek Tek Zotek-P (15ml) is a multi-action, prescription-strength veterinary otic solution engineered for the definitive management and rapid relief of acute and chronic external ear infections (otitis externa) in dogs and cats. This high-performance therapeutic formula relies on a highly synergistic, four-way combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients to combat mixed pathogen pressures while soothing extreme tissue distress: Chloramphenicol IP (5.0% w/v), Clotrimazole IP (1.0% w/v), Beclomethasone Dipropionate IP (0.025% w/v), and Lignocaine Hydrochloride IP (2.0% w/v), balanced in a Glycerin IP (10% w/v) emollient base.
Each medical component is selected to eliminate a specific facet of complex otic pathology:
- Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Power: Chloramphenicol is a potent, broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, providing broad bactericidal and bacteriostatic control over common Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria causing ear discharge.
- Targeted Antifungal Action: Clotrimazole acts as a high-affinity antifungal agent, breaking down the cell membranes of opportunistic yeast overgrowths like Malassezia pachydermatis, which consistently thrive in dark, warm, and waxy ear canals.
- Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Pruritic Relief: Beclomethasone Dipropionate is a highly effective corticosteroid that minimizes severe canal swelling, relieves intense inner ear redness, and stops agonizing itching.
- Rapid Pain Management: Lignocaine Hydrochloride (Lidocaine) serves as a fast-acting topical local anesthetic, temporarily blocking pain signals along nerve pathways to immediately suppress head shaking, whining, and scratch-induced trauma.
The soothing Glycerin base helps lubricate the canal walls, softening built-up waxy crusts for gentle discharge. Zotek-P is widely utilized by veterinary clinicians to treat complex mixed-infection otitis externa cases presenting with foul odors, thick discharge, and structural discomfort.
Critical Safety Warning: Zotek-P Ear Drops must never be administered if the pet's eardrum (tympanic membrane) is torn, ruptured, or perforated. Introducing topical formulations containing corticosteroids, local anesthetics, or certain antibiotics into a compromised ear canal can lead to permanent hearing loss or severe vestibular toxicity (loss of balance). A veterinarian must always confirm the eardrum is completely intact using an otoscope prior to initiating treatment.
