FAQs

What are the active ingredients in Malaseb® Shampoo?
  • 2% miconazole nitrate
  • 2% chlorhexidine gluconate
What are the dosing and frequency guidelines for Malaseb® Shampoo?

Malaseb® 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.
