How does Malaseb Shampoo for Dogs, Cats, & Horses work?

Malaseb utilizes a dual-action mechanism where Chlorhexidine Gluconate disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria, leading to their precipitation and destruction. Simultaneously, Miconazole Nitrate inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, effectively stopping fungal growth. The shampoo base also acts to strip excess oils and necrotic debris, removing the environment where these pathogens thrive.

Caution:

For topical use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If skin irritation develops or increases, stop use and call your veterinarian. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Wash hands after use.
