Composition:
Each ml contains:
Ketoconazole IP 2% w/v, Chlorhexidine Gluconate IP 4% w/v & Excipients q.s
Dose: Apply sufficient quantity of shampoo. Approximately 0.5 -1 ml of shampoo per kg body weight will be sufficient to cover the entire body.
Pharmacodynamics: Ketoconazole interacts with 14-a-sterol demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme necessary for the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol. This results in inhibition of ergosterol synthesis and increased fungal cellular permeability which leads to fungal cell death and prevents further multiplication. The positively charged chlorhexidine molecule reacts with negatively charged phosphate groups on microbial cell surfaces - this reaction both destroys the integrity of the cell, allowing leakage of intracellular material, and allows chlorhexidine to enter the cell, causing precipitation of cytoplasmic components leading to bacterial death and prevents bacterial multiplication.
Indications: Dermotil-K shampoo for dogs and cats is an excellent product to remove scales from the surface of the pet. It helps to degrease the coat effectively and successfully kill all microorganisms that are responsible for causing dermatitis. This is specially formulated to help treat all kinds of skin ailments of dogs and cats.
