Zenex/Intas Softas Max Tick & Flea Shampoo is a medicated shampoo formulated with 2% Permethrin, 2% Miconazole Nitrate and 0.5% Aloe Vera, designed for the management of established tick, flea and lice infestations in dogs. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, helping to control adult ticks, fleas, lice and their larvae on contact. Miconazole Nitrate is included to help address fungal skin issues that can develop from repeated scratching during an infestation, while Aloe Vera is included to help soothe irritated skin underneath. Softas Max is intended for more escalated infestation situations, such as those that develop during humid or monsoon conditions, rather than for routine monthly prevention.

BENEFITS
The Permethrin component is intended to act on the nervous system of adult ticks, fleas and lice, helping to reduce infestation on contact. Miconazole Nitrate is included to help address secondary fungal skin issues that can arise from the itch-scratch cycle associated with heavy infestations, while Aloe Vera contributes a soothing, calming effect to compromised skin. As with all ectoparasiticide products, response can vary by pet and severity of infestation, and any signs of skin infection, wounds, or lack of improvement should be assessed by a veterinarian.
