Intas Micodin Medicated Shampoo is a therapeutic cleansing shampoo formulated with Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Miconazole Nitrate, using a pH-balanced formulation to address a range of skin issues in pets. It combines Miconazole's antifungal properties, effective against dermatophyte and yeast infections, with Chlorhexidine's broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, making Micodin a dual-action option for seborrheic dermatitis, pyoderma (as an adjunct to topical therapy), demodicosis (as an adjunct to topical therapy), and general skin irritations such as itching, redness, scaling and odour. Micodin is available in 100 ml and 200 ml bottle sizes.
KEY FEATURES
- Contains Chlorhexidine Gluconate (2% w/v) and Miconazole Nitrate (2% w/v)
- Dual antifungal and antimicrobial action
- pH-balanced therapeutic cleansing formulation
- Addresses fungal, bacterial and irritative skin conditions
- Available in 100 ml and 200 ml sizes
BENEFITS
Miconazole Nitrate targets fungal organisms such as dermatophytes and Malassezia yeast, while Chlorhexidine Gluconate provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as Staphylococcus. Together, this dual-action formula is intended to help manage seborrheic dermatitis, pruritus, erythema, exudation, and scaly, greasy or malodorous skin, and to serve as an adjunct to topical therapy in cases of pyoderma and demodicosis. Regular, correctly timed use is intended to help reduce the likelihood of infection recurrence. As with all medicated shampoos, ongoing or worsening skin conditions should be diagnosed and monitored by a veterinarian, and this product should be used as part of an overall treatment plan rather than a standalone cure for underlying skin disease.
