What's the difference between this product and this (Zymox Ear Solution with 0.5-Percent Hydrocortisone, 1.25-Ounce)?

From my experience, they are both good but the one with 1.0-percent Hydrocortisone the best on my dogs ears. Her ears have been chronically infected for a few years and this helped better than anything the vet gave her . I hope this helps :-)

This product does not have Hydrocortisone which is an anti-itch medicine, so if your pet is itchy, the 0.5 Percent formula will help. Based on my own research, Hydrocortisone is controversial because it can cause negative side effects, especially in the kidneys, may cause immune suppression and aggravate diabetes, therefore its not recommended for senior pets or with other health problems. Personally, I prefer this Zymox because its a natural product -and Hydrocortisone is not. Even though my cat was very itchy, this product was so effective that it soothed his itchiness very quickly, even without Hydrocortisone.

The hydrocortisone is suppose to stop the itching which it does & the one w/out the hydrocortisone I think will try to get rid of the bad bacteria in the ear but it just didn't work for my pit bull. It didn't do anything at all so I suggest the one with the hydrocortisone because I seen results with that one

In response to your question concerning ZYMOX OTIC HC 1.0% Enzymatic Solution I used on my Labrador Retriever. Here are the directions as written. Shake before each use. Apply liberally to un-cleaned ear, filling ear canal. Gently massage and work into infected area. Wipe to remove excess. Apply once a day for 7 days, 14 days for chronic infections. DO NOT CLEAN EARS BEFORE OR DURING TREATMENTS. I ordered a 4 fluid ounce bottle to get started and have used approx. 3/4 of it with 1/4 left. As mentioned I have always relied on my vet over the years with the her selling me MOMETAMAX to use at $38.87 for a 15g bottle which never seemed to solve the ear issues that would come and go. After our problem was cleared up I use once a week EPI-OTIC EAR CLEANSER which maintains my dogs inner ears and keeps them nice and clean. At first I was a little skeptical that the product would work as advertised along with other comments posted, but all I can say it sure did. Which has brought much needed relief to my canine daughter and she seems so much happier having no more ear irritation. Hope this comment helps in some way.

My bottle of Zymox ear cleaner, does not have an expire date on it. If you pet just has dirty ears, this ear cleaner works great. However if your dog has ear infections, you will want to buy the Zymox OTIC HC 1.0% Enzymatic Solution, from Amazon. It is fantastic, and stops ear infections quickly. Glenn

It is 1oz of a 5% solution. The advantage would depend on your dosage as 2 is not half of 5

I'm sorry I don't really know the difference unless derived from a food source. I researched as best one can on the internet and really enjoyed J.Crow's website and that made me decide to get the Lugol's solution of this brand. The price and shipping was better than I could get locally. It is almost time again to purchase a bottle, it certainly lasted since I only take 2-3 drops in my orange juice each morning. Did it make a difference? that is debatable since I am still testing at the same levels, and my Synthroid rx dosage has not changed. http://www.jcrows.com/msds2.pdf

I'm not sure of the difference, but this product worked for a couple of weeks, and then the problem returned. FINALLY, my primary doc, NOT the eye doc realized all my problems were allergy related. So, I don't take this product anymore.

This goes inside the ear for ear infection type symptoms. So if it is on the outside of the ear I believe there is a zymox CREAM for skin you can use.

Shake well, apply liberally to uncleaned ear, filling ear canal. Gently massage and work into infected area. Wipe to remove excess. Use once a day for seven days, 14 days for chronic. Safe for extended use on persistent cases. IMPORTANT!- do not clean ears before or during use. Do not use in conjunction with other topical ear medications or cleaners. Do not allow water in or near ear during use, reapply if water gets in here. Do not use on punctured eardrum's. Do not use on pregnant or lactating female cats. This is because the Zymox Plus contains 1% HydroCortizone. Just use regular Zymox if your cat is lactating or pregnant. My cat had an infection for so many years I applied for 14 days even when signs of trouble disappeared. It has not returned. I do reapply for a few days every two or three months just in case. It reintroduces necessary enzymes back into the ear canal that are essential to maintain good ear health. Some people use unpasteurized organic apple cider vinegar. supposed to have the same affect. I trusted all the positive reviews this simple solution received. I could tell by reading from the positive reviews that my cat had some of the same issues. I don't give rave reviews often - this is one of those rare occasions where I cannot say enough. The added bonus? This Zymox cost a fraction of the pharmaceutical medications my veterinarian had been prescribing for years with out positive results. As I said above - it is imperative to follow the instructions carefully in order to get the desired results. Your cat will not enjoy moisture in his ear but he sure will enjoy the lack of irritation, pain and infections from constant scratching and digging. No more shaking heads nor digging then meowing as the cat shoots across the floor:) PS: I forgot to mention that the Hydro Cortizone is for irritation and inflammation due to constant digging. Only safe enzymes actually treat the Otitis.

We have performed extensive clinical studies to quantitate the efficacy of the product. It was astonishingly effective, especially relative to the corticosteroids hydrocortisone and betamethosone. We have not directly compared the efficacy to Skin Cap.

I am not sure about others but I could notice the differences. I purchased both sponges since I couldn't decide at that time. Size wise, this sponge is more practical and easier for me to hold because it is much bigger than puresol. Color wise, puresol sponge is very black and when I first soaked it, the water turned black, which made me believe some kind of chemical coloring must have been added. Then I looked at the box and it says that puresol brand is made in China. Since there are many questionable Chinese products in the market, I decided I didn't want to use it on my skin. So far I have used this my konjac brand for the past few months and my skin has never looked better. Love it!

No, do not put it in the ear. It's probably a different problem. You should try Pet King Brand Zymox Otic Enzymatic Solution for Pet Ears, 4 Ounces

There is no difference. I have purchased from both my doctor and amazon. I have been buying from my doctor (no shipping)

The hydrocortisone helps to ease pain and itching associated with the infection in the ear

The bottle doesn't say, but its .75oz. I also use NeilMed nasogel, which is 1oz. both are good products. The second is more expensive, but slightly bigger. Hope this helps!

This is an anti bacterial/anti fungal that clears up any other ear issues, I find. So far it has worked great for both of my dachshunds that have floppy ears and are prone to ear troubles.

It is slightly more viscous than water, but a lot less than a gel. I've tried the watery kind and the gel kind and I find the gel difficult to get into my Basset Hounds' ears. My Bassets are seniors and, like most heavy/floppy-eared breeds, have been plagued with chronic ear infections, so I am constantly looking for the best way to get and keep their ear folds and canals clean without exacerbating the problem by leaving them too wet after cleaning. The antimicrobial agent and the drying agent, along with the ease of administration, make this the absolute best ear cleaning product I've used. I plan to order the twin pack soon.
