Target species Dogs and cats. Indications for use Dogs: For the treatment and control of seborrhoeic dermatitis associated with Malassezia pachydermatis and Staphylococcus intermedius. Cats: As an aid in the treatment of ringworm due to Microsporum canis in conjunction with griseofulvin. Contraindications Do not use in case of hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients. Special warnings for each target species Dogs and cats: In order to prevent reoccurrence of the infection, appropriate control methods should be employed in the animal’s environment (e.g. cleaning and disinfection of kennels, beds). Cats: Malaseb shampoo should only be used in conjunction with griseofulvin when treating for ringworm. Shampooing cats may initially increase the recovery of M. canis by brush culture techniques. Both field and experimental studies have shown that environmental contamination with M. canis can be eliminated or reduced by the use of Malaseb shampoo twice weekly. In these studies, griseofulvin was administered continuously throughout the treatment period and both clinical improvement was enhanced and environmental contamination reduced compared to the use of griseofulvin alone. Special precautions for use Official, national and regional antimicrobial policies should be taken into account when the product is used. Special precautions for use in animals For external use only. In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water. Do not allow the animal to lick itself during shampooing and rinsing, or before it is dried. Take care to avoid the animal inhaling the product or getting it into the nose or mouth during shampooing. Puppies and kittens should not come into contact with nursing females after treatment until the coat has dried. Special precautions to be taken by the person administering the veterinary medicinal product to animals People with known hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine, miconazole or any of the excipients should avoid contact with the veterinary medicinal product. This product can cause eye irritation. Avoid contact with the eyes. In case of accidental contact with eyes, rinse with plenty of water. If irritation persists consult your doctor. Avoid excessive handling and stroking of treated animals immediately following treatment. Ringworm in the cat is infectious to humans and so it is advisable to wear gloves and have arms covered during clipping and shampooing of infected cats. When shampooing a cat, in order to avoid prolonged contact with the shampoo, wash and dry hands gently. Do not scrub.
