Piroctone Olamine 200 ml Shampoo for Cat

Piroctone Olamine 200 ml Shampoo for Cats is a veterinary dermatological cleanser formulated to help manage dandruff, seborrhoeic skin, and fungal-associated scaling in cats. It contains piroctone olamine, an antifungal agent known for controlling yeast overgrowth such as Malassezia, which is commonly linked to flaky, irritated skin. Suitable for adult cats and kittens as advised by a veterinarian, this shampoo helps cleanse excess scales, soothe irritation, and support a balanced skin environment. It is typically used as part of a structured dermatology care plan rather than as a cosmetic grooming product.

How It Works
