Malaseb Shampoo

Malaseb is a medicated topical shampoo that combines two primary active ingredients to treat complex skin conditions in dogs and cats. Chlorhexidine gluconate acts as a potent antibacterial agent, while miconazole nitrate provides targeted antifungal activity. In dogs, this formulation is specifically indicated for seborrheic dermatitis associated with bacterial and yeast infections. In cats, it serves as a critical aid in the management and control of ringworm infections, working alongside systemic treatments to reduce environmental contamination and speed recovery.
