What is Mometamax (Gentamicin/Mometasone Furoate/Clotrimazole) Used For?

Mometamax (Gentamicin/Mometasone Furoate/Clotrimazole) is a combined prescription veterinary medication primarily used for the treatment of otitis externa, which is an infection or inflammation of the outer ear canal in dogs. It is used to treat both acute cases and sudden flare-ups of chronic ear infections, specifically when they are caused by susceptible strains of yeast, such as Malassezia pachydermatis, or bacteria including Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and beta-hemolytic streptococci.

Mometamax works through the combined actions of its three active ingredients to resolve ear infections and inflammation. The antibiotic component, gentamicin sulfate, is bactericidal, meaning it kills bacteria by entering the cell and binding to specific structures called 30S ribosomes. This binding prevents the bacteria from creating the proteins they need to function and survive, effectively stopping the bacterial infection. The anti-inflammatory component, mometasone furoate, is a potent synthetic corticosteroid that acts locally on the skin of the ear canal. It suppresses the body's inflammatory response to the infection, which reduces physical symptoms like redness, itching, and swelling.

The antifungal component, clotrimazole, targets yeast and fungi that are actively growing and dividing. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts membrane permeability, causing essential internal substances, specifically phosphorus and potassium, to leak out of the cell. This loss of internal components destroys the integrity of the fungal cell, leading to its death and clearing the fungal portion of the infection. Together, these three actions treat the underlying causes while providing relief from the resulting clinical signs such as odor, discharge, and discomfort.

Always administer this medication exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. For more information about its use, check out the full product monograph.

What Side Effects Can Mometamax or Generic Gentamicin/Mometasone Furoate/Clotrimazole Cause?

Mometamax is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause various side effects ranging from mild skin reactions to more significant systemic issues. Mild side effects often occur at the site of application and include redness, stinging, itching, or general skin irritation. Other possible side effects include diarrhea, vomiting, and inflammation of the ear flap (pinna). Talk to your vet if you notice these side effects.

Serious side effects may include:
• Allergic reactions: Swelling of the face, lips, or severe redness, blistering, or oozing skin inside the ear;
• Hearing and balance problems: sudden hearing loss, loss of balance, rhythmic, involuntary flicking of the eyes from side to side;
• Kidney problems such as reduced urination;
• Systemic steroid side effects: marked increase in drinking and urination, or poor wound healing;

Seek immediate veterinary attention if you notice any of these symptoms in your dog. Ensure you inform your veterinarian about any other side effects you notice that are not listed here.

Warnings

Mometamax should not be used in dogs with the following:
• Allergic reaction to the active and inactive ingredients of this medication;
• Dogs also taking other medications known to cause ear toxicity such as other aminoglycosides or loop diuretics like furosemide;
• Dogs with a parasitic skin infection called generalized demodicosis;
• Perforated eardrum (your vet should examine your dog before using this medication);

This medication should be used with caution in dogs with some specific conditions, especially systemic endocrine disorders, such as diabetes mellitus or thyroid disease. Some dogs, particularly older ones, may experience partial or complete hearing loss or balance problems after use. If you notice your dog tilting its head, acting dizzy, or failing to respond to sounds, you must stop treatment immediately and contact your veterinarian.

This medication is strictly contraindicated in pregnant and breastfeeding dogs or dogs intended for breeding. This is because some of its active ingredients have been linked to serious congenital abnormalities in puppies, such as cleft palates and deformed legs, and safety has not been established in lactating dogs. This medication is not recommended for use in puppies younger than 3 months of age or weighing under 3 kg.

Treatment with Mometamax should not exceed the standard 7-day recommended duration. Prolonged use typically increases systemic absorption of mometasone, which may lead to potential adrenal gland suppression and delayed wound healing. You should avoid using Mometamax at the same time as other medications known to cause ear damage or other aminoglycoside antibiotics and corticosteroids unless specifically instructed by a veterinarian to prevent the risk of adverse effects. Also, before using this medication on your dog, inform your veterinarian about any other medications your dog is currently using, including other topical medicines, to determine if it is safe to use along with Mometamax. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after administering this medication. Store this medication at room temperature and keep away from children and pets.
