Actions
Amacin® combines antibacterial and anti-inflammatory actions effective in the majority of commonly occurring eye and ear infections. Neomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is bactericidal by way of irreversible inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. Neomycin is broad spectrum and is most active against aerobic Gram-negative rods (for example Proteus spp. and Pseudomonas spp.) and Gram-positive cocci such as Staphylococci.
Polymixin B causes direct bacterial membrane damage by a detergent-like action. It is bactericidal even in the absence of cell growth and effective only against Gram-negative organisms.
Sulfacetamide sodium has a bacteriostatic action. It is non-irritant in high concentrations. It is well absorbed with high levels quickly attained in the cornea, conjunctiva, aqueous humour and iris.
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory and excellent penetrating properties.
The above actives are formulated in a polybase that ensures fluidity over a wide temperature range for ease of application. It disperses well, is non-irritating and there is good contact of active ingredients with the cornea and aural mucosa.
Indications
For topical treatment of ocular and aural infections in dogs, cat and horses.
Directions for Use
Apply once or twice daily as required.
