Dermcare Malaseb Medicated Shampoo

Description

Malaseb® Medicated Shampoo is an antibacterial and antifungal medicated shampoo for dogs and cats.

It is indicated for the treatment of seborrhoeic dermatitis associated with bacteria (Staphylococcus pseudintermedius) and yeast (Malassezia pachydermatis) and is an aid in the treatment of ringworm (dermatophytosis) infections in pets.

Malaseb Medicated Shampoo is formulated to remove scale, degrease the skin and kill cutaneous micro-organisms that primarily or secondarily cause dermatitis.

Pet Infections:

It is normal for pets to have low numbers of resident bacteria and yeast on the skin surface. When there is a disruption to the skin’s natural ecosystem these bacteria and yeast can overgrow, leading to skin disease.

Underlying causes of secondary bacterial and yeast infections of the skin can include:

• Allergy – environmental allergens such as tree pollens and weeds, food allergy, flea allergy.
• Parasites, such as fleas, mites and lice.
• Hormonal or endocrine diseases.

It is important to treat the secondary infection as well as the underlying condition for optimal management of the skin disease.

If you are concerned your pet may have a skin infection, please visit your local veterinarian for a consultation. Diagnostic tests, such as cytology, will be necessary to determine which micro-organisms are present. This is essential in determining the best treatment and product for your dog.
