Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, and a drug interaction may be anticipated. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and or monitor your pet more closely. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together. Cautions: Synotic Otic Solution may cause a garlic or oyster-smelling bad breath while being used. Do not use in dogs with damaged ear drums. Care should be taken to avoid contact of the medication with the dogâs eyes. Contact of the bare hand with the medication should also be avoided. Preparations with DMSO should not be used in pregnant animals. This product is contraindicated wherever systemic corticosteroids would be dangerous because it is known that DMSO enhances the percutaneous absorption of topically applied corticosteroids and the veterinarian should be aware of possible systemic reactions in this situation. Adrenal suppression, weight loss and increased susceptibility to infections may be evidenced with the use of this drug, especially in over dosage. Allergic reactions to medications may occur.
