Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Isaderm Gel is a topical gel formulated for dogs. It is used to treat skin conditions like acute moist dermatitis (“hot spots”) and skin fold dermatitis (intertrigo). The gel contains two main ingredients: one is an antibiotic (fusidic acid) that kills certain bacteria, and the other is a steroid (betamethasone) that helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching. Isaderm Gel is helpful for treating mild skin infections and reducing irritation on the skin’s surface. However, it should not be used on deeper skin wounds, on infections caused by fungi or viruses, or over large areas of skin for a long time.

Before using Isaderm Gel, gently clip the hair covering the affected area on the dog. Clean the area with an antiseptic wash and let it dry. Apply Isaderm Gel as a thin layer, using about 0.5 cm of gel for every 8 cm² of the lesion. This should be done twice daily. Treatment should last for at least 5 days. Continue using the gel for 48 hours after the skin looks healed. Do not use it for more than 7 days. If there is no visible improvement in 3 days, or if the skin gets worse, the diagnosis should be checked again.
Isaderm contains the active ingredients fusidic acid and betamethasone.
Avoid giving this medication if any of the following apply:
Side effects with Isaderm are uncommon but may occur with prolonged or extensive use. Using the product over large areas of skin may lead to thinning of the skin, slower wound healing, or suppressed adrenal function.
In some cases, skin lightening (depigmentation) may also happen at the application site. If signs of an allergic reaction or sensitivity develop, treatment should be stopped immediately. Pet owners should follow veterinary instructions closely and avoid overuse to minimize potential risks.
