WHY CHOOSE EPIOTIC® SIS?
Gentle pH Neutral Micellar Solution: pH balanced, non-irritating formula which helps to remove cellular debris and wax, correct excessive moisture in the ear canal and emulsify wax, aiding its removal. Optimal tolerance, for use in dogs.1,3
Antimicrobial action: Kills and inhibits the growth of infectious agents associated with otitis externa. Antimicrobial against bacteria and yeast representing the most common causes of canine otitis externa. Facilitates the delivery of prescribed ear medications.1,2
SIS Technology (Skin Innovative Science): SIS Technology incorporates Glycotechnology, an innovative blend of specific saccharides (rhamnose, galactose, and mannose). These saccharides work together to reduce microbial adherence to the skin, helping to protect and support the skin's natural defence mechanisms. 4-6
Anti-Odour Technology: Neutralises unpleasant smells resulting in a statistically significant decrease in odour. Also has a mild citrus aroma which keeps ears smelling fresh.1,3
