Pyohex medicated foam shampoo is an aid in the treatment and the prevention of recurrence of superficial dermatitis associated with Staphylococcus intermedius infections in dogs

  • It is an adjunct to treatment for demodectic mange and other deep pyodermas
  • Can be used as a preventative for recurrent pyodermas
  • Can be used for German Shephard Furunculosis
  • It does not irritate or dry like a Chlorhexidine scrub.
  • Pyohex contains 3% Chlorhexidine Gluconate, a proven antibacterial with activity against gram positive bacteria eg. Staphylococcus intermedius and gram negative bacteria.
  • Non-toxic, non-irritating, with up to 4 days residual activity.

    INDICATIONS

  • The Chlorhexidine in Pyohex works by binding to hair and penetrating the follicle via a wicking action down the hair shaft, to eliminate bacteria in situ. Chlorhexidine kills bacteria by disrupting the cell membrane and precipitating the cell contents.
  • Binds strongly to the skin and hair, resulting in up to 4 days residual action.
  • As Chlorhexidine is poorly absorbed through the skin it is completely safe when used as directed.
  • Contains an advanced surfactant base that removes abnormal lipids that occur due to bacterial lipases. Pyohex does not dry or strip the coat of essential lipids needed to prevent transepidermal water loss, a process that promotes infection.
  • Is pH neutral, specifically designed for canine skin.

    REGISTERED FOR USE IN

    Dogs and Puppies of any age

    DIRECTIONS FOR USE

  • First wet the coat, then sponge Pyohex onto the animal\\'s coat and allow to stand for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. This is the minimum contact time to ensure antimicrobial activity
  • Bath twice weekly until symptoms abate and then weekly or as directed by your veterinarian

    EFFICACY

  • Independent studies have shown that Chlorhexidine is the most efficacious antibacterial, especially against Staphylococcus intermedius, when compared to other commonly used antibacterials such as Ethyl Lactate and Benzoyl Peroxide.

  • Chlorhexidine if used in a shampoo has a 4-day residual activity but if used in a lotion after the shampoo it has an antiseptic action of up to 2 weeks.
