Oriheal Veteroderm-KC Ketoconazole & Chlorhexidine Medicated Antifungal & Antibacterial Shampoo for Dogs & Cats (200ml)

Oriheal Veteroderm-KC is a veterinary medicated shampoo combining Ketoconazole (imidazole antifungal) and Chlorhexidine Gluconate (broad-spectrum antiseptic and antibacterial), manufactured by Oriheal Lifesciences. Veteroderm-KC is indicated for the topical management of fungal skin infections (ringworm, dermatophytosis, Malassezia overgrowth), bacterial skin infections (pyoderma), seborrhoea, and mixed fungal-bacterial dermatoses in dogs and cats.

Composition (to be confirmed from product label)

• Ketoconazole — concentration % (confirm from label) — imidazole antifungal
• Chlorhexidine Gluconate — concentration % (confirm from label) — broad-spectrum antiseptic and antibacterial
• Suitable shampoo base with conditioners — q.s. to 200ml

Mechanism of Action

• Ketoconazole: Inhibits fungal cytochrome P450-dependent lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase — blocks ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes, causing cell membrane disruption and fungal cell death; effective against dermatophytes (Microsporum, Trichophyton) and Malassezia pachydermatis
• Chlorhexidine Gluconate: Disrupts bacterial cell membrane integrity by binding to negatively charged bacterial cell wall components — broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; residual activity on skin surface after rinsing

Therapeutic Class

• Veterinary medicated topical antifungal and antibacterial shampoo — for fungal, bacterial, and mixed skin infections in dogs and cats

Key Benefits

• Dual antifungal (Ketoconazole) + antibacterial (Chlorhexidine) action in a single medicated shampoo
• Effective against dermatophytes causing ringworm and dermatophytosis
• Controls Malassezia pachydermatis overgrowth — a common cause of otitis externa and seborrhoeic dermatitis in dogs
• Chlorhexidine provides residual antibacterial activity on skin surface between washes
• Addresses mixed fungal-bacterial dermatoses in a single topical treatment
• Helps manage seborrhoea and reduce skin odour associated with bacterial and fungal overgrowth

Indications

• Ringworm and dermatophytosis (Microsporum canis, Trichophyton spp.) in dogs and cats
• Malassezia-associated seborrhoeic dermatitis and skin fold dermatitis in dogs
• Bacterial pyoderma and surface bacterial skin infections
• Mixed fungal and bacterial skin infections and dermatoses
• Seborrhoea (oily or dry seborrhoeic skin conditions) in dogs and cats

Directions for Use

• Wet the coat thoroughly with lukewarm water
• Apply Veteroderm-KC shampoo and lather evenly over the affected areas and surrounding skin
