Virbac Cortavance Ears & Skin Care Spray 76 Ml
Cortavance is Virbac's clinically proven veterinary dermatology spray — the professional-grade solution for managing inflammatory skin and ear conditions in dogs with the precision and safety of modern corticosteroid technology. Formulated with Hydrocortisone Aceponate (HCA), a next-generation non-fluorinated corticosteroid, Cortavance delivers powerful anti-inflammatory action directly to affected skin and ear tissue — reducing redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort rapidly and effectively, with a systemic safety profile superior to traditional corticosteroid treatments. At EGP 1,120 for 76ml, this is the veterinary-standard treatment that addresses canine inflammatory skin conditions at the dermatological level.
⚠️ Veterinary Product — Use under veterinary guidance. Consult your veterinarian before use.
Why Virbac Cortavance Is the Professional Choice for Canine Skin & Ear Care
- Hydrocortisone Aceponate (HCA) — Next-Generation Corticosteroid — HCA is a non-fluorinated, non-halogenated topical corticosteroid that delivers potent local anti-inflammatory action with significantly reduced systemic absorption compared to older fluorinated corticosteroids — the clinical advancement that makes Cortavance both more effective and safer than traditional topical steroid treatments.
- Rapid Anti-Inflammatory Action — Reduces the redness, swelling, intense itching (pruritus), and discomfort of inflammatory skin conditions within days of application — providing measurable relief for dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and otitis externa (outer ear inflammation).
- Spray Format — Precise, Hygienic Application — The spray delivery allows precise application to affected areas without direct contact — reducing contamination risk, covering larger areas evenly, and making application possible on sensitive or painful skin where direct touch would cause additional discomfort.
- Non-Greasy, Fast-Drying Formula — Leaves no greasy residue on the coat or skin — absorbs quickly, doesn't attract dirt, and doesn't create the uncomfortable coating sensation that cream or ointment-based treatments produce.
- Virbac Veterinary Pedigree — Virbac is a global leader in veterinary dermatology — a pharmaceutical company whose products are used in veterinary clinics worldwide and whose formulations meet pharmaceutical-grade efficacy and safety standards.
- 76ml — Generous Clinical Supply — The 76ml format provides sufficient product for a complete treatment course as directed by your veterinarian, with sufficient volume for larger dogs or extended treatment areas.
- EGP 1,120 — Pharmaceutical-Grade Value — Veterinary-standard corticosteroid therapy at a price point that makes professional dermatological treatment accessible without the full cost of repeated veterinary consultation for prescription refills.
Product Details & Clinical Information
What Is Hydrocortisone Aceponate (HCA)? — HCA is a diester of hydrocortisone developed specifically for topical veterinary dermatological use. Its chemical structure allows it to penetrate the outer skin layers (stratum corneum) efficiently and activate anti-inflammatory pathways within the dermis, while its metabolic fate in the bloodstream produces inactive metabolites — meaning the anti-inflammatory action is concentrated at the application site while systemic exposure (and the systemic side effects associated with systemic corticosteroids) is substantially reduced. This is the fundamental clinical advantage of HCA over older fluorinated topical corticosteroids and over systemic oral corticosteroid administration.
Indications — What Cortavance Treats — Cortavance is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and pruritic (itchy) skin conditions in dogs, including:
- Atopic dermatitis (environmental allergy-induced skin inflammation)
- Contact dermatitis (reaction to environmental contact irritants)
- Otitis externa (outer ear canal inflammation) when used appropriately
- Localized inflammatory skin reactions
- Hot spots (acute moist dermatitis) — short-term symptom management
How Cortavance Works — Applied as a spray to affected skin, HCA penetrates the epithelial barrier and binds to glucocorticoid receptors within dermal cells, suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, cytokines) that drive the redness, swelling, and itching cycle of inflammatory dermatitis. By interrupting this inflammatory cascade at the cellular level, Cortavance addresses the biological mechanism of skin inflammation rather than merely masking surface symptoms.
The Spray Advantage in Canine Dermatology — Dogs with painful, inflamed, or pruritic skin frequently resent topical application by touch — the spray format allows medication delivery from a short distance (typically 10cm from skin surface) without the direct pressure contact that causes additional discomfort. For ear application, the spray format allows penetration into the ear canal without the insertion required by ear drops, reducing application stress and the risk of trauma to inflamed canal tissue.
Safety Profile — Cortavance's HCA formulation has undergone extensive clinical evaluation for safety in dogs. Key safety considerations: it should not be applied to open wounds, eyes, or mucous membranes; it should not be licked by the dog immediately after application (use an E-collar if necessary during the absorption period); extended use beyond the recommended treatment duration should be under veterinary supervision; it is not indicated for cats. As with all corticosteroid treatments, long-term continuous use requires veterinary monitoring.
