How should I use Micodin (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate)?

Micodin (Miconazole Nitrate/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is normally administered once or twice each week while bathing your pet, but the best instructions will be determined by your pet's health condition and the severity of its symptoms. To administer the medicine thoroughly rinse your pet to remove any dirt or loose skin from its coat, apply a small amount of shampoo, create lather, and spread it evenly over the animal's body. You are suggested to allow the medicine to soak for five to ten minutes so that it can be absorbed into the skin. Thoroughly rinse the shampoo from your pet's coat while preventing it from contacting the mucous membranes including the eyes, mouth, and nose to prevent unexpected health problems. You are also suggested to wash your hands with soap and water after each application to prevent it from contacting your own skin or mucous membranes.
