Ketochlor

Ketochlor (Ketoconazole/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is a shampoo prescribed to pets with dandruff or a fungal infection affecting the skin. It is an antifungal medication that operates by interfering with fungus cell reproduction to prevent its spread allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection. With regular use, this treatment can prevent dry or flaking skin. The veterinarian may prescribe it along with other medicines or to treat other unlisted conditions.

Follow your veterinarian`s instructions when using Ketochlor (Ketoconazole / Chlorhexidine Gluconate) to achieve the safest and best results. It is normally prescribed to be used twice a week, but your pet`s frequency of administration will be determined by its health condition, symptoms, and response to other treatments. To use the medicine, wet your pet`s hair and place a small amount of shampoo onto the skin. Then massage the shampoo into the hair and skin, distribute it evenly over the body and creating a lather. Next, leave the shampoo for 10 minutes before rinsing it out. Keep the medication away from the pet`s eyes, nose, mouth and ears.

Attend regular medical consultations with your veterinarian while using the medicine to make sure you are getting the most effective results. This will also allow the pet`s response to the medication to be observed so the correct adjustments can be made to the treatment such as reduced application. If you have any questions about the shampoo`s administration and usage, consult your veterinarian.

When properly used, Ketochlor (Ketoconazole/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is normally well tolerated and will not cause any side effects. If you do witness any unusual symptoms, discuss them with your veterinarian as soon as they occur to make sure the correct response is taken. These side effects may include itchy, irritated, or reddened skin at the site of application. It may be necessary to reduce the frequency of application or make other adjustments to your pet`s treatment to prevent further complications. If more serious health problems are indicated, emergency medical assistance may also be required.

Ketochlor (Ketoconazole/Chlorhexidine Gluconate) should not be used on pets that are allergic to ketoconazole or chlorhexidine.

It is suggested to bring your pet in for a medical check-up before beginning use to make sure it does not have any other conditions that may cause complications with treatment. These may include reduced doses or other adjustments to the regimen to prevent potential problems from appearing.
