Directions For Use
Directions for Use
This product is for topical administration. Shake the bottle well before use. At the beginning of treatment, hair surrounding or covering the lesions must be clipped; this should be repeated during treatment if necessary.
Ears
Clean the auditory canal and place a few drops of the product into the ear twice daily. For infections caused by Otodectes cynotis, instill five drops twice daily for 14 days. Massage the ear and the auditory canal gently but thoroughly to obtain optimum distribution.
Skin
Having ensured the area to be treated is clean, apply a few drops of the product (depending on lesion size) twice a day and rub well.
Treatment should be continued until a few days after complete disappearance of the clinical symptoms. In some obstinate cases, 2 to 3 weeks treatment may be necessary.
Where ear mite infestation is present, consideration should be given to treating both ears even if infestation is only apparent in one ear.
Active Ingredient
Surolan Ear Drops 30 ml ingredients
per ml: miconazole nitrate 23 mg, prednisolone acetate 5 mg, polymyxin B sulfate 0.5293 mg
Side Effects
Side effects of Surolan Ear Drops 30 ml
Do not use in animals with perforated ear drums since polymixin B is known to be a potential ototoxic agent.
Long term use of topical steroids may cause skin thinning and delay wound healing. Corticosteroids are not recommended for use in pregnant animals.
As Surolan is a prescription only medicine, treatment should be closely supervised by a veterinary practitioner. Due to likely variability (time, geographical) in the occurrence of resistance of bacteria for Polymyxin B, bacteriological sampling and susceptibility testing are recommended.

Q & A
- Q. is surolan safe to use on my cat with crf. as ive put the three drops in her ears and she seems to be unwell, like the surolan are irritating her.
- A.
As far as I'm aware, there should be no problems using Surolan in CRF patients. Many cats find having ear drops pu in uncomfortable, and its rarely a sign of anything more sinister.
However, since its a prescription only medication, I suggest you have a talk with your vet if you think there might be a specific problem with your cat.
I hope that helps,

MyVetMeds - Q. My labrador puppy is 6 months old, he was prescribed Surolan yesterday for an ear infection. He seems to have had a bad reaction to it with bad diarreah and sickness, he was very lethargic last night and wouldnt get out of his bed. He was fine this morning and had his breakfast but when my partner applied the ear drops shortly after he was sick again!
Is this a known side effect? as i cant find it anywhere!
Thanks
Charlotte - A.
That does sound like an unpleasant reaction - it might be an allergic reaction, or it's possible that one of his ear-drums has ruptured and that the Surolan is getting into his middle ear.
I would strongly advise that you contact your vet and talk to them, as this certainly isn't a normal reaction or side-effect!
Hope this helps,
