PYOHEX MEDICATED SHAMPOO 250ml

Features:
Pyohex aids in the treatment of superficial dermatitis associated with infections caused by Staphylococcus intermedius in dogs. Antibiotic therapy is recommended for initial control of the infection or where one or more deep pyodermas are present.

Pyohex is formulated to remove dirt and scale, degrease the skin and kill the cutaneous micro-organisms that primarily or secondarily cause dermatitis. Chlorhexidine is an effective antibacterial agent against many Gram-ve and Gram+ve bacteria as well as having anti-fungal activity. It is both bactericidal and bacteriostatic, depending on the concentration used and the organism sensitivity. At bacteriostatic concentrations absorption of the active ingredient onto the cellular membrane adversely affects membrane functions and inhibits growth. At bactericidal concentrations two effects may be seen: at relatively low concentrations lysis of the cell membrane occurs with consequent loss of cytoplasm; at higher concentrations, lethal coagulation of the cytoplasm occurs without cell rupture

Ingredients:
Active ingredients: Chlorhexidine gluconate 30g/l

Usage Guidelines:
Wet the animal thoroughly with clean water. Apply to the animal at several points and massage into the coat. A sponge assists lathering and penetration of the coat. Allow to stand for 10 minutes and then rinse off with clean water. Repeat twice-weekly until symptoms abate, then weekly, or as directed by your veterinary surgeon. 10mL should be enough to treat a 10kg dog.
