What is animax ointment?

Animax ointment is a prescription medication used to treat skin infections in dogs, cats, and horses. The active ingredients in the ointment are a combination of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents, including neomycin, thiostrepton, triamcinolone acetonide, and nystatin. Neomycin and thiostrepton help to kill bacteria, while nystatin targets fungi and yeast. Triamcinolone acetonide reduces inflammation and itching. Animax ointment is typically applied topically at the affected area of the skin twice a day for up to a week. It is important to consult a veterinarian before using this medication to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. Potential side effects may include skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
