Ketochlor 200ml Cat Shampoo

Ketochlor 200 ml Cat Shampoo is a veterinary medicated antifungal and antibacterial cleanser formulated to manage fungal and bacterial skin infections in cats. It combines ketoconazole and chlorhexidine to target common dermatological conditions such as ringworm, yeast dermatitis, pyoderma, seborrhoeic skin, and malodour associated with microbial overgrowth. Suitable for adult cats and kittens above 12 weeks (under veterinary advice), Ketochlor is typically used as part of a structured dermatology treatment plan. It provides targeted skin support while helping maintain coat hygiene. This is a therapeutic shampoo and should be used under veterinary guidance for active infections.

Key Benefits

• Dual antifungal and antibacterial action

• Helps soothe irritation and scaling
• Supports prevention of recurrent infections when used as directed

How It Works

Ketochlor works through a combination of two clinically established active ingredients:

• Ketoconazole – An antifungal agent that disrupts fungal cell membrane integrity, helping eliminate dermatophytes and yeast such as Malassezia.
• Chlorhexidine Gluconate – A broad-spectrum antibacterial agent effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
• Spherulite technology (if included) – Allows gradual release of active ingredients for prolonged skin contact.
• Chitosanide (if included) – Helps active ingredients adhere to the skin surface for improved efficacy.

This dual-action mechanism helps address both fungal and bacterial contributors to skin disease.
