Pyohex Medicated Foam Shampoo 250ml

Pyohex: Antibacterial Foam for Superficial Skin Infections

Pyohex is a specially formulated antibacterial foam designed to effectively control superficial skin infections in dogs. Its key ingredient, chlorhexidine, plays a vital role in eliminating bacteria by binding to the hair and penetrating the hair follicles through a wicking action down the hair shaft. This mechanism allows for direct action against bacteria at the site of infection. Chlorhexidine works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to the destruction of the bacterial cell contents.

One of the standout features of Pyohex is its strong adhesion to skin and hair, providing up to four days of residual antibacterial action. Additionally, chlorhexidine is poorly absorbed through the skin, ensuring that Pyohex is completely safe for use on dogs.

Pyohex also includes an advanced surfactant base that effectively removes abnormal lipids produced by bacterial lipases. Importantly, Pyohex does not dry out or strip the coat of essential lipids, which are crucial for preventing transepidermal water loss—a process that can lead to further skin infections.

Formulated to be pH neutral, Pyohex is specifically designed to be compatible with canine skin, ensuring gentle yet effective treatment.

Directions for Use:

1. Wet the Coat: Start by thoroughly wetting your dog's coat with water.
2. Apply Pyohex: Sponge Pyohex onto the coat, ensuring even coverage.
3. Let It Sit: Allow the foam to remain on the coat for at least 10 minutes. This minimum contact time is essential for optimal antimicrobial activity.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: After the contact time, rinse the coat thoroughly with water.

For best results, bathe your dog with Pyohex twice weekly until symptoms improve, and then transition to weekly applications or as directed by your veterinarian.
Finish the bathing process with Pyohex leave on conditioning lotion
