ACTIONS
 
SEBORRHOEIC DERMATITIS

MALASEB contains a potent antifungal and an antibacterial to eliminate the Malassezia pachydermatis and Staphylococcus intermedius overgrowth, which result in Seborrhoeic dermatitis.
MALASEB’s unique formula removes damaged lipids without stripping the coat or skin, helping to normalise the skin's microenvironment.
MALASEB is the new, improved version of Dermcare’s SEBOLYSE™ Medicated Foam. Contains the same active ingredients as Sebolyse but minus the Selenium Sulphide (an additional keratolytic which may dry the skin). MALASEB’s unique base acts as a natural keratolytic without drying the skin. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
First wet the coat, then sponge MALASEB onto the animal’s coat and allow to stand for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. Do not leave an animal unattended during the standing period of 10 minutes.This is the minimum contact time to ensure antimicrobial activity. MALASEB should be used twice weekly until symptoms abate, and then weekly or as advised by your veterinarian.

Pyohex shampoo and conditioner are for the treatment of bacterial (Staphylococcal) skin infections in dogs. Bacterial skin infections on dogs can have a wide variety of symptoms or appearances and causes.
Common appearances of bacterial infections:

• Pimples
• Circular rings of scale or redness (as larger pimples pop and leave ‘rings’ of skin damage)
• Moist areas of skin commonly referred to as hotspots

Reasons for bacterial skin infections:
Sometimes there is just bad luck involved, although the majority of cases of skin infections in dogs can be tracked to underlying conditions which allow the low numbers of normal bacterial residents to overgrow and cause disease.
Underlying causes for bacterial infections:

• Allergy, pollen, grass, food (meats), fleas
• Hormonal problems (including Cushing’s disease and thyroid problems)
• Parasitic infestations such as demodex mites or Scabies.

Pyohex shampoo and conditioner have the great benefit over creams and lotions in that they can be applied all over, regardless of the amount of fur coverage.

• The shampoo should be applied to a wet coat and lathered up.
• Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
• Distract the dog from licking during this period. Ingestion of foam can upset their stomach.
• After rinsing allow the dog to shake excess water from its coat and then rub the conditioner through the coat whilst still damp. This can be achieved by applying a small amount to your hands, lightly rubbing your hands together and then dabbing your hands over your dog’s coat. After the conditioner is roughly distributed give your dog a good rub to evenly distribute it throughout the coat.

How often should I use Pyohex Medicated Shampoo & Conditioner?
During periods of active infection the shampoo and conditioner should be used twice per week. Once the infection has resolved, bathing once per week or fortnight is often enough to prevent recurrences. The time of year may influence the frequency of bathing - during spring and summer, dogs who suffer bad allergies may find they require more frequent bathing then they do in winter when their allergies are not as active.

Active ingredient: 30g/L Chlorhexidine gluconate

HOT TIP

• Ensure your dog is thoroughly wet before applying Pyohex Medicated Shampoo as this will make lathering and spreading it easier.
• Use a wet sponge to help to ensure the coat is wet and the Pyohex Medicated Shampoo lathers and spreads well.
• Allow the full 10 minutes contact time for the Pyohex Medicated Shampoo as this will allow optimal efficacy.
