What is Malaseb Medicated Shampoo (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) used for?

Malaseb Medicated Shampoo (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is a topical solution used to treat primary and secondary seborrheic dermatitis affecting dogs, cats, puppies, or kittens. The shampoo has antibacterial and antifungal properties and operates by slowing or stopping the reproduction of bacteria and fungus cells making it easier for the immune system to fight the infections.

How should I use Malaseb Medicated Shampoo (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate)?

Malaseb Medicated Shampoo (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is normally applied once or twice each week when bathing your dog or cat. To apply the shampoo rinse the animal's coat to remove any dirt or loose skin, apply a small amount of medication, create lather, and spread it evenly over the animal's body. Allow the medication to soak for five to ten minutes so that it is absorbed into the skin. Thoroughly rinse the shampoo from the animal's fur making sure it does not contact any mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose, or mouth as this may cause unexpected problems. Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after each use to prevent the medicine from contact your own mucous membranes.
