Stratford Keto-C Medicated Shampoo is specially formulated to combat dermatological conditions caused by bacterial and fungal infections in dogs, cats, and horses. This medicated shampoo combines two active ingredients, Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Ketoconazole, to address a range of skin issues in animals. It's designed for topical use and offers a multifaceted approach to managing infections and soothing irritated skin.
Key Ingredients and Their Functions
The effectiveness of Stratford Keto-C Shampoo lies in its dual-action formula:
Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2%: This is an antiseptic agent known for its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Chlorhexidine Gluconate works by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria, effectively killing them and preventing further infection.
Ketoconazole 1%: This is an antifungal medication that targets fungal infections by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting the fungal cell membrane, Ketoconazole inhibits fungal growth and helps to eliminate the infection.
The shampoo combines Chlorhexidine and Ketoconazole, which treat bacterial and fungal infections, while soothing skin irritation.
