Mechanism of action (2)

Species not stated (2)
  • OSURNIA is a fixed combination of three active substances: florfenicol (antibacterial), terbinafine (antifungal) and betamethasone acetate (steroidal anti-inflammatory). Florfenicol is a bacteriostatic antibiotic which acts by inhibiting protein synthesis. Its spectrum of activity includes Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Terbinafine is an antifungal which selectively inhibits the early synthesis of ergosterol. Betamethasone acetate is a glucocorticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. OSURNIA dissolves in ear wax and is slowly eliminated from the ear mechanically. Ear inflammation can increase the percutaneous absorption of active substances in OSURNIA. In a laboratory study conducted in healthy dogs (see Animal Safety ), low plasma concentrations of florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate were measurable during the first 2-4 days after administration of 1× dose, and during the first 2-7 days after administration of 5× dose. No quantifiable plasma concentrations of any of the three active ingredients were observed in the pre-dose samples of most dogs prior to second and third administrations. Although total and peak exposure in the blood tended to be highly variable between dogs, systemic drug concentrations tended to increase in a less than dose-proportional manner as the administered dose increased from 1× to 5×.

    Osurnia® (florfenicol, terbinafine, betamethasone acetate)

  • DuOtic™ is a fixed combination of two active ingredients: terbinafine (antifungal) and betamethasone acetate (steroidal anti-inflammatory). Terbinafine is an antifungal which selectively inhibits the early synthesis of ergosterol. Betamethasone acetate is a glucocorticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. DuOtic™ dissolves in ear wax and is slowly eliminated from the ear mechanically. Ear inflammation can increase the percutaneous absorption of active substances in DuOtic™. In a laboratory study conducted in healthy dogs administered Osurnia® (see Target Animal Safety ), low plasma concentrations of florfenicol, terbinafine, and betamethasone acetate were measurable during the first 2-4 days after administration of 1X dose, and during the first 2-7 days after administration of 5X dose. No quantifiable plasma concentrations of any of the three active ingredients were observed in the pre-dose samples of most dogs prior to second and third administrations. Although total and peak exposure in the blood tended to be highly variable between dogs, systemic drug concentrations tended to increase in a less than dose-proportional manner as the administered dose increased from 1X to 5X. The systemic exposure of terbinafine and betamethasone are not expected to be affected by the removal of florfenicol from the formulation.

  • DuOtic™ should be administered by a veterinary professional. Wear eye protection when administering DuOtic™ (see Human Safety Warnings, Precautions, Post-approval Experience, and Target Animal Safety ). Splatter may occur if the dog shakes its head following administration. Persons near the dog during administration should also take steps to avoid ocular exposure. Clean and dry the external ear canal before administering the initial dose of the product. Verify the tympanic membrane is intact prior to each administration (see Precautions, Contraindications, Target Animal Safety and Post-approval Experience ). Administer one dose (1 tube) per affected ear. Repeat administration in 7 days. Open tube by twisting the soft tip. Insert the flexible tip in the affected external ear canal and squeeze entire tube contents into the external ear canal. After application, gently massage the base of the ear to allow the gel to penetrate the lower part of the ear canal. Restrain dog to minimize post-application head shaking to reduce potential for splatter of product, and accidental eye exposure in people and dogs (see Post-Approval Experience and Target Animal Safety ). Do not clean the ear canal for 45 days after the initial administration to allow contact of the gel with the ear canal. Cleaning the ear may affect product effectiveness (see Effectiveness ). If alternative otic therapies are required, it is recommended to clean the ear(s) before application of those therapies.
