My dog has a yeast ear infection. Are ILIUM EAR DROPS safe to use?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years and 9 months old | 17 lbs

My poor dog suffers from bad yeast infections in the ears. I can't get her to a vet for at least a couple weeks and I found this product online and I want to make sure it's safe to use in her yeast infection in her ears. The product is called ILIUM EAR DROPS 20ml. They contain the following: Dichlorophen 5mg/mL, Lignocaine HCI 5mg/mL, Piperonyl butoxide 5mg/mL, Pyrethrins 500µg/mL

This is a generic version of a common ear medication called Zymox, which is safe for dogs and cats. However, you can have side effects with any medication, so its best to follow up with your vet if you have any concerns after using this. Best of luck and I hope that Daisy's ear infection resolves soon! Take care.
