This consultation closed on 25 July 2023
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is considering an application for approval of the new active constituent posaconazole and registration of the product Mometamax Ultra Ear Drops Suspension for Dogs, containing 2.1 mg/mL mometasone furoate (as monohydrate), 2.6 mg/mL posaconazole, and 8.6 mg/mL gentamicin (as sulfate). This is a single-application anti-inflammatory, antifungal and broad-spectrum antibacterial suspension indicated for the treatment of canine otitis externa associated with strains of bacteria susceptible to gentamicin (Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Proteus spp., Streptococcus spp., Escherichia coli), and fungi susceptible to posaconazole (Malassezia pachydermatis).
We invite comments from 27 June 2023 to 25 July 2023 on whether approval of the active constituent and registration of the product should be granted.
The APVMA is able to consider comments relating to the legislative grounds, including:
- chemistry and manufacture
- occupational health and safety
- public health
- environmental safety
- efficacy and target animal safety.
