Is Mitex with pyrethrins and Bremamectin safe for my cat's ear mites?

Question

Hello. I have just discovered that my cat has ear mites. The vet prescribed Mitex combined with Bremamectin as treatment, Stronghold and Etiopic. Is the combination between Mitex and Bremamectin safe for cats? Is Mitex containing Pyrethrins?

I recommend you contact your vet to confirm the multiple medications and directions. Ear mites in most cases are quite easy to eliminate - thorough cleansing with an ear cleaner will remove the wax and majority of ear mites and stronghold is e,ffective against remaining mites. I am not familiar with the brands available in your area but a search for 'mitex' appears that some do and some don't contain pyrethroids. Cats are sensitive to pyrethroid products but the small dose used in ears, when necessary rarely causes significant side effects. Until you can confirm the full prescription I would apply the stronghold and cleanse the ears with epiotic
