What is Zymox Otic with Hydrocortisone?

How it works:
Zymox Otic has what the manufacturer calls a Three-Point Enzyme System. Each enzyme - lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, and lactoferrin - has its own unique properties that, when combined, becomes a powerful antimicrobial formula.
The antibacterial property of the lactoperoxidase is based upon inhibiting vital bacterial metabolic enzymes. Lysozyme kills bacteria by disrupting the formation of a glycosidic bond between the two components of peptidoglycan, a constituent of the bacterial cell wall. Lastly, lactoferrin - an iron-binding protein - is bacteriostatic against a wide range of microorganisms, which means it inhibits the growth of the bacteria.
The anti-inflammatory action of hydrocortisone reduces itching and inflammation.
Cautions:
Do not use this product when using any other topical ear medications or cleaners, since the enzyme activity of Zymox Otic with Hydrocortisone may not work.
