Surolan

What is Surolan?

Surolan is a combination veterinary ear treatment formulated for topical use in the ear canal. It contains three active ingredients that work together

• miconazole: an antifungal agent
• polymyxin B: an antibiotic
• prednisolone: a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties

This combination allows Surolan to address both the infectious cause and the associated inflammation of external ear infections. Surolan is available as a liquid solution that is easy to administer directly into the ear canal of dogs or cats, according to veterinary instructions.

What is Surolan used for?

Surolan is indicated for the treatment of external ear infections and topical infections in dogs and cats when these conditions are caused or complicated by bacterial, fungal, or mixed infections. It is commonly prescribed for

• external ear infections associated with yeast such as Malassezia
• bacterial ear infections
• inflammation of the external ear canal
• ear infections accompanied by redness, itching, pain, or discharge

Thanks to its anti-infective and anti-inflammatory action, Surolan helps quickly reduce discomfort, soothe itching, and support healing of the ear canal. Its use must always be based on a veterinary evaluation, particularly to confirm that the eardrum is intact.

Dosage

Surolan is available as an otic solution with a concentration of 23 mg/ml (combined active ingredients). The amount administered and the duration of treatment vary depending on the species (dog or cat), the severity of the ear infection, and the animal’s clinical response.
The veterinarian determines the appropriate treatment protocol, including the number of drops per ear and the total duration of therapy. It is essential to follow the prescribed instructions exactly and not to shorten or extend treatment without veterinary advice.

How and how often should I give Surolan to my pet?

Surolan is administered into the ear canal and, in some cases, topically on the skin for certain localized infections. Before application, gentle ear cleaning with an appropriate ear cleanser is often recommended, if advised by the veterinarian.
The usual dosing frequency is once to twice daily, depending on the prescribed protocol. After applying the product
1. Gently massage the base of the ear to distribute the solution
2. Allow the animal to shake its head if needed
3. Wipe away any excess product visible at the ear opening
Consistent and careful administration is essential to ensure treatment effectiveness and help prevent recurrence.

What are the side effects and precautions associated with Surolan?

Surolan is generally well tolerated when used correctly. However, as with any medication, some mild and temporary side effects may occur, including

• mild local reactions such as redness or irritation
• increased ear sensitivity during application
• rare allergic reactions to one of the components

Surolan must not be used if the eardrum is perforated, as this could lead to serious complications. The medication should only be used following veterinary examination and prescription. If symptoms worsen, severe pain develops, or an unusual reaction is observed, consult your veterinarian promptly.
