Ilium TopigenSuspension
Actions
Anti-bacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory and antipruritic. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside, is bactericidal in action. It interferes with the protein synthesis of cell membranes. Nystatin is antifungal in activity, often used topically, used in the treatment of candidiasis. Its mechanism of action is similar to amphotericin B. It is poorly absorbed orally and relatively non-toxic. It has no anti-bacterial activity. Fluocinolone acetonide is an anti-inflammatory agent. Adverse reactions are rare. Not as effective in Gram-positive infections.
Indications
Anti-bacterial, antifungal, anti inflammatory and anti pruritic oily suspension for dogs and cats.
