What is animax ointment used for?

Animax ointment is a combination medication that is used topically to treat skin infections in dogs and cats. It contains four active ingredients: nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton, and triamcinolone acetonide.

• Nystatin is an antifungal medication that is effective against certain types of fungi, such as yeast.
• Neomycin sulfate is an antibiotic that helps to kill bacteria that may be causing the infection.
• Thiostrepton is another antibiotic that works in combination with neomycin to provide broad-spectrum antibacterial coverage.
• Triamcinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation and itching associated with the infection.

Animax ointment is often prescribed for conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, hot spots, ear infections, and other skin infections in pets. It should be applied as directed by your veterinarian, usually two to three times a day. It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully and complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is properly cleared up.
