Miconazole Nitrate & Chlorhexidine Gluconate 200 ml Shampoo for Cat

Miconazole Nitrate & Chlorhexidine Gluconate 200 ml Cat Shampoo is a veterinary medicated topical cleanser formulated to manage fungal and bacterial skin infections in cats. Combining miconazole (antifungal) and chlorhexidine (antibacterial), it helps address dermatophytosis (ringworm), yeast dermatitis, bacterial pyoderma, and infection-related odour. Suitable for adult cats and kittens above the age recommended by a veterinarian, this shampoo is typically used as part of a structured dermatological treatment plan. It supports infection control while gently cleansing the coat without excessively stripping natural oils. This is a therapeutic product and should be used under veterinary supervision for active skin conditions.

How It Works

This shampoo works through two clinically established active ingredients:

• Miconazole Nitrate – An imidazole antifungal that interferes with fungal cell membrane synthesis, helping eliminate dermatophytes and yeast such as Malassezia.
• Chlorhexidine Gluconate – A broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Supportive cleansing base – Mild surfactants cleanse the coat while helping preserve skin barrier integrity.

Together, these ingredients reduce microbial load while supporting skin recovery.
