Description

Chlorhexidine gluconate shampoos are difficult to formulate. That’s why ChlorhexiDerm® 4% Shampoo for dogs, cats and horses combines the activity of chlorhexidine gluconate with penetrating agents and emollients, formulated for stability.

CAUTIONS: Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. For topical use on dogs, cats and horses. Avoid contact with eyes. Not for otic use. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian.

FAQs

What are the active ingredients in ChlorhexiDerm® 4% Shampoo?

4% chlorhexidine gluconate 

What are the dosing and frequency guidelines for ChlorhexiDerm® 4% Shampoo?

ChlorhexiDerm® 4% Shampoo should be lathered and applied over the entire body, allowing 10 minutes of contact time, before rinsing off completely with water. Can be used weekly or as recommended by a veterinarian.

Should I recommend my clients use a gentle grooming shampoo prior to applying medicated shampoo?

A gentle grooming shampoo is a great option to use before a medicated shampoo. Your client may wish to clean the skin and coat prior to applying the medicated shampoo so the medication will have more contact with clean skin.
