Malaseb and Pyohex Combo Pack 450ml

Malaseb Shampoo 250mL & Pyohex Conditioner 250mL

Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo: 

Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is a specialized antibacterial and antifungal formula designed for the effective treatment of skin conditions in dogs and cats. It is specifically indicated for managing seborrhoeic dermatitis, which is often associated with bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and yeast infections due to Malassezia pachydermatis. Additionally, this shampoo serves as a supportive treatment for ringworm (dermatophytosis) infections in pets.

How to Use Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo

1. Preparation: Begin by thoroughly wetting your pet with clean, warm water.

2. Application: Apply Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo at several points along your pet’s coat. Gently massage it into the fur to ensure complete coverage. Using a sponge can enhance lathering and help the shampoo penetrate the coat effectively.

3. Dosage: Use approximately 1-2 mL of shampoo per kilogram of your pet's body weight.

4. Contact Time: Allow the shampoo to remain on your pet’s skin for 10 minutes. During this time, it is crucial to supervise your pet to prevent any licking or inhalation of the shampoo, which could cause irritation.

5. Rinsing: After the 10-minute contact time, rinse your pet thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of the shampoo.

Bathing Tips for Cats

Cats can be particularly sensitive to water, so consider the following tips for a smoother bathing experience:

• Use a gentle, non-running water source, as many cats prefer this method.

• Fill three large buckets with warm water for rinsing.

• Gently dunk the cat (avoiding the head) in the first bucket before applying the shampoo to create a rich lather.

• To keep your cat warm and prevent them from licking the shampoo, wrap them in a towel for the 10-minute duration.

• Afterward, sequentially dunk your cat into the remaining two buckets to ensure all shampoo is thoroughly rinsed off.

Precautions and Safety

• Eye Protection: Exercise caution to prevent the shampoo from coming into contact with your pet's eyes. If this occurs, flush the eye with clean water and seek veterinary assistance if any changes are observed.

• Supervision: Pets should not be left unattended during the shampoo's contact time, as licking or inhaling foam can lead to gastrointestinal or respiratory irritation.

• Species-Specific Use: Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is intended exclusively for use in dogs and cats. It is not recommended for other species, such as rabbits.

Understanding Skin Infections

It's normal for pets to have low levels of bacteria and yeast on their skin. However, disruptions in the skin's natural balance can lead to overgrowth and subsequent skin diseases. Common underlying causes of these secondary infections may include:

• Allergies: These can stem from environmental allergens (like pollen and weeds), food allergies, or flea allergies.

• Parasites: Fleas, mites, and lice can contribute to skin irritation and infections.

• Hormonal or Endocrine Disorders: These conditions can predispose pets to skin issues.

To effectively manage skin diseases, it's vital to address both the secondary infections and the underlying causes. If you suspect your pet has a skin infection, it is advisable to consult your local veterinarian. They can perform diagnostic tests, such as cytology, to identify the specific microorganisms involved, ensuring the most effective treatment plan is established.

Conclusion

Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is a reliable choice for pet owners looking to manage skin conditions in their dogs and cats. With its antibacterial and antifungal properties, it plays an essential role in promoting healthy skin. Always consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and treatment recommendations tailored to your pet's needs.

Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner: 

Overview

Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner is specifically formulated to aid in the treatment and prevention of superficial bacterial dermatitis associated with Staphylococcus intermedius in dogs. This medicated conditioner works synergistically with chlorhexidine-containing shampoos like Pyohex® Medicated Shampoo and Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo, extending their antibacterial effects and providing essential care for your pet's skin.

Active Ingredient

The key ingredient in Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner is chlorhexidine gluconate, renowned for its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. This ingredient is effective against a wide range of bacteria commonly linked to superficial bacterial dermatitis, making it a vital component in your pet's skincare routine.

Benefits

In addition to its antibacterial properties, Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner helps restore moisture to the skin following bathing. This is especially important for dogs prone to skin issues, as maintaining hydration can support overall skin health and reduce irritation.

Understanding Superficial Bacterial Dermatitis

Superficial bacterial dermatitis often arises as a secondary infection in dogs with existing skin diseases. The condition typically occurs when underlying factors disrupt the normal balance of resident bacteria on the skin, allowing these bacteria to overgrow and trigger an infection. While primary infections can occur without an underlying cause, they are less common.

Underlying Causes of Secondary Bacterial Dermatitis

To effectively manage and prevent recurrent skin infections, it is essential to address both the secondary infection and any underlying conditions. Common underlying causes include:

• Allergies: Environmental allergens (such as pollen and mold), food allergies, and flea allergies can contribute to skin irritation and dermatitis.

• Hormonal or Endocrine Disorders: Conditions affecting hormone levels can predispose dogs to skin issues.

• Parasitic Infestations: Fleas, mites, and lice can cause significant skin irritation and may lead to secondary bacterial infections.

Consulting Your Veterinarian

If you suspect your dog may have a skin infection, it is crucial to consult with your veterinarian. They can perform diagnostic tests, such as cytology, to identify the specific microorganisms involved. This step is vital in determining the most effective treatment plan tailored to your dog’s needs.

Directions for Use

For optimal results, follow these steps when using Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner:

1. Wash Your Dog: Start by thoroughly washing your dog with Pyohex® Medicated Shampoo or Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo.

2. Rinse: Make sure to rinse the coat thoroughly and towel dry to remove excess moisture.

3. Apply Conditioner: Dispense a small amount of Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner into your palm and spread it evenly over both hands. Gently massage the conditioner into your dog’s coat, ensuring even coverage. Do not rinse off.

4. Dosage: Use approximately 1 mL of conditioner per kilogram of your dog's body weight. This product can be applied to both haired and non-haired skin areas.

Conclusion

Pyohex® Medicated Conditioner is an essential tool in promoting skin health for dogs, particularly those prone to superficial bacterial dermatitis. Its unique formulation not only aids in treating infections but also helps prevent their recurrence while moisturizing the skin. For the best results, incorporate this conditioner into a comprehensive skincare routine and consult your veterinarian for any persistent skin concerns.
