Pyohex Medicated Foam Shampoo 500ml

Pyohex: Antibacterial Foam for Superficial Skin Infections

Pyohex is an expertly formulated antibacterial foam designed to effectively manage superficial skin infections in dogs. Its active ingredient, chlorhexidine, plays a crucial role in eliminating bacteria. By binding to the hair and penetrating the hair follicles through a wicking action, it targets bacteria directly at the infection site. Chlorhexidine disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, causing the contents of the bacterial cells to be destroyed.

One of the key advantages of Pyohex is its strong adherence to the skin and hair, providing up to four days of lasting antibacterial protection. Since chlorhexidine is poorly absorbed through the skin, Pyohex is completely safe for canine use.

In addition, Pyohex features an advanced surfactant base that effectively removes abnormal lipids caused by bacterial activity. Importantly, it does not strip the coat of essential lipids, which are vital for preventing transepidermal water loss—a condition that can exacerbate skin infections.

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

Directions for Use:

1. Wet the Coat: Begin by thoroughly wetting your dog's coat with water.
2. Apply Pyohex: Sponge Pyohex onto the coat, making sure to cover all areas evenly.
3. Let It Sit: Allow the foam to remain on the coat for at least 10 minutes. This minimum contact time is critical for achieving optimal antimicrobial activity.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: After the contact time, rinse the coat thoroughly with water.

For best results, use Pyohex twice a week until symptoms improve, then switch to weekly applications or follow your veterinarian's recommendations.

To complete the bathing process, follow up with Pyohex Conditioning Lotion for added moisture and protection.
