A cream for wounds and sore spots – used by the veterinary profession for many years – has been approved for general sale.
Otodex Skin Cream is made using an analgesic to alleviate pain and a mild astringent to reduce haemorrhaging and weeping from minor injuries. Distributer Petlife International says it is ideal for treating eczema, sore spots, abrasions and minor burns, working by calming and covering the wound.
The Skin Cream sits within the family of Petlife’s Otodex range and alongside the top-selling eardrops.
James Hancock, Petlife’s sales and marketing director, said: “Otodex Skin Cream is highly recommended by many of our customers so clearing the latest requirements of the Veterinary Medicines Directorate and therefore being able to offer the product again is fantastic news.
“The cream is easy to apply and proven to be very effective on skin conditions, abrasions and minor burns on both cats and dogs. We’re delighted to be able to once again offer Otodex Skin Cream as part of the Petlife range.”
