PYOHEX Medicated Foam Shampoo is exclusively used for the treatment of superficial skin infections in dogs. Its broad and effective anti-septic action controls hot spots and bacterial dermatitis in dogs. The shampoo formulation removes dirt and grime while degreasing skin. It kills bacteria and other micro-organisms responsible for various skin conditions. The foam based antiseptic shampoo controls bacterial infection effectively and improves dog skin health. 

How Does it Work?

The medicated foam contains active ingredient Chlorhexidine Gluconate. This ingredient works by binding to hair and entering hair follicle through the hair shaft to eliminate bacteria situ. Chlorhexidine kills bacteria by breaking cell membrane and cell contents. The surfactant base removes unwanted lipids that are produced due to bacterial lipases. Though, the product does not drains skin lipids essential to prevent transepidermal water loss, which promotes infection.

• After rinsing, allow the dog to shake excess water from its coat and then rub the conditioner through the coat whilst still damp.
