Surolan Otic Suspension for Dogs and Cats
Surolan is a prescription ear medication for dogs that contains miconazole nitrate (antifungal), polymyxin B sulfate (antibiotic) and predisolone acetate (glucocorticoid). If you dog has been diagnosed with otitis externa or an outer ear infection, your veterinarian may prescribe a topical ear medication such as Surolan. This medication reduces inflammation that is commonly associated with ear infections and fights against certain strains of bacteria and yeast with a broad spectrum antibiotic and antifungal. Consult with your dog’s veterinarian before using this medication, and follow their specific recommendations. Surolan is available in 15ml and 30ml dropper bottles.
What you should know about Surolan Otic Suspension:
- Read and follow the prescription label carefully for storage information, possible side effects, and drug interactions.
- Give the exact amount prescribed and only as often as directed.
- Do not skip doses or stop giving the medication without consulting your veterinarian.
- Shake well before use.
Resistance is a major concern when giving antibiotics. Resistance occurs when bacteria survive and mutate and are then able to survive even after antibiotics are given. To help avoid any resistance, it is important to give antibiotics as they are prescribed for as long as they are prescribed even if your pet is looking and feeling better.

READ SIDE EFFECTS BEFORE USING THIS DRUG
From ILComments about Surolan Otic SuspensionThis was given to my dog who had an ear infection, she lost her hearing. I googled the side effects and it says possible hearing loss or deafness. It is NOT worth the risk. My dog had perfect hearing prior to this medication and now she can NOT hear at all!! There are many other drugs to use why prescribe something that may cause hearing loss??? -
Effective product
From UndisclosedComments about Surolan Otic SuspensionMy dog has always had issues with his ears. His allergies are the biggest cause. I've tried many ear medications and Surolan has been the only product that has provided relief. The inflammation is cleared up and the constant itching. I do find that I have to use it twice daily for at least week however, other dogs may not need it that long. -

We have a cat and the vet has prescribed "sirloin" for him. The package says for "dogs only." Is it safe to use for cats too. I also read some reviews and I'm not convinced it's safe. PLEASE answer! Thank you?

Surolan is a medication indicated to treat certain types of ear infections found in dogs. Your cat’s veterinarian may prescribe this medication for off-label use for your cat if he or she chooses to do so. Please contact the veterinarian for guidance relating to your pet’s drug therapy.

The Surolan only comes in ear drops. There are other oral medications you could look in to but the brand name Surolan only comes in the ear drop form. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My vet put our dog on a dose for 21 days, 2x a day. He now has built up fluid in his ear and she has indicated that is sometimes a side effect to this medication and that the fluid now might stop the medication from working. Is 21 days a standard dose??
-
Annmay, Surolan ear drops include three medications: miconazole (an anti-fungal), polymyxin B (an antibiotic), and prednisolone (a steroid to reduce swelling/irritation). Duration of treatment depends on the diagnosis. Surolan is most typically used for 7 days, but studies have been extended to 42 days. Side effects noted in these studies were pain, swelling, and redness of the ear canal. Fluid build-up has been reported as a side effect from Surolan. A persisting infection could also cause these symptoms. If the fluid was preventing the medication from reaching the site of the infection in the ear, it could potentially decrease its effectiveness. If your dog is experiencing side effects or you are concerned that the medication may not be working, it would be important to contact your veterinarian to discuss alternate treatment options. Thank you, VetRxDirect

My dog has become deaf since using the Surolan. I used a drop per day in each ear for 2 weeks. I stopped her treatment 3 days ago. Will she regain her hearing??
-
Joyce, Reduced hearing or loss of hearing is an uncommon but potential adverse effect with Surolan. The manufacturer doesn’t report whether or not this adverse effect is reversible once therapy is discontinued. I recommend contacting your veterinarian as well as the manufacturer, Vetoquinol, at 1-800-835-9496 to report the adverse reaction and for further assistance. Thank you, VetRxDirect
