This is a Dermcare Pyohex Shampoo for Dogs (250ml) Skin Infections & Hot Spots. Dermcare Pyohex Medicated Shampoo is a topical antibacterial shampoo containing 3% Chlorhexidine Gluconate. It is an aid in the treatment of superficial bacterial skin infections in dogs. Superficial bacterial infections are quite common in dogs with skin disease. It is usually a secondary infection - there is an underlying condition which allows the normal resident bacteria of the skin to overgrow and cause an active infection. Primary infection - infection without an underlying cause, can also occur but is less common. It is important to treat the secondary infection as well as the underlying condition for optimal management of the skin disease. Chlorhexidine gluconate, the active ingredient in Pyohex shampoo and conditioner, has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against most bacteria that are commonly found in cases of superficial bacterial dermatitis. Studies show that the antibacterial activity of chlorhexidine gluconate is optimised at 3%, which is the concentration found in both Pyohex shampoo and 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. For example, during Spring and Summer, dogs who suffer from seasonal allergies and secondary skin infections may require more frequent bathing than other times of the year.
