Johnson Ear Drops 15ml is an over-the-counter pet medication sold in the UK to treat ear mite (Otodectes cynotis) infestations in cats and dogs. It is a clear, pale yellow liquid formula that contains natural pyrethrum. 

Key Product Benefits
    • Kills Ear Mites: Contains natural active ingredients that target and eliminate ear mite infestations.
    • Softens Wax: Helps break down dark, dry, waxy debris and hard buildup inside the ear canal.
    • Soothes Irritation: Calms itching and eases inflammation caused by constant scratching.
    • Assists Healing: Promotes the natural healing process of the delicate skin inside the ear. 

Active Ingredients
    • Pyrethrum Pale Extract (25%): 0.40% w/v (equivalent to 0.10% w/v Pyrethrins) acting as the main insecticide.
    • Piperonyl Butoxide: 1.00% w/v, which boosts the effectiveness of the pyrethrins. 

Suitability and Limitations
    • Target Animals: Suitable for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens over 12 weeks of age.
    • Contraindications: Do not use on animals under 12 weeks old. Avoid contact with the pet’s eyes.
    • Infection Warning: This product is intended for mild mite infestations (indicated by head shaking, minor scratching, or dark waxy debris). It is not suitable for severe ear infections. If your pet has a strong-smelling discharge, severe pain, swelling, or a head tilt, consult a vet immediately. 

How to Administer
  1. Warm the Bottle: Hold the bottle in your hand for a few minutes to bring it to body temperature. 
  2. Shake and Apply: Shake well and squeeze the correct dosage into the ear canal based on pet size:
      • Cats & Very Small Dogs: 3 drops.
      • Small Dogs: 4 drops.
      • Medium Dogs: 5 drops.
      • Large Dogs: 6 drops. 

  3. Massage: Hold your pet’s head to the side for 15–20 seconds. Massage the base of the ear gently to let the liquid penetrate before letting them shake their head. 
  4. Schedule: Repeat daily for 7 consecutive days. Always treat both ears, even if only one seems infected. A second 7-day course can be applied one week later to ensure any newly hatched mite eggs are destroyed
