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.
Malaseb is a veterinary shampoo for dogs, cats, and horses that treats skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi. It contains chlorhexidine, an antimicrobial agent, and miconazole, an antifungal agent, which work together to support healthy skin. The formula is fragrance-free, gently cleanses without stripping natural oils, and includes conditioners to support the health of the coat.

Before applying, shake the bottle well and wet your pet’s coat completely. Work the shampoo into a lather across the entire body, making sure all affected areas are covered. The shampoo should stay on the skin for 10 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work properly. Afterward, rinse thoroughly to remove all residue and prevent irritation.
This shampoo is usually used once a week, but your veterinarian may recommend a different schedule depending on your pet’s condition. While using Malaseb, avoid contact with your pet’s eyes, prevent licking during application, and watch for any signs of skin irritation.
This product contains chlorhexidine gluconate and miconazole nitrate as the active ingredients.
Before giving this product, you may want to consult a veterinarian about the following:
Malaseb is for use on the skin only. Avoid getting it in your pet’s eyes, and stop using it if skin irritation starts or gets worse. Always keep the bottle out of reach of children and pets.
Wash your hands after applying Malaseb. In rare cases, people have had serious allergic reactions to chlorhexidine, one of its ingredients.
Store Malaseb at room temperature and protect it from freezing.
Avoid using this shampoo if there’s a known hypersensitivity or allergy to chlorhexidine gluconate or miconazole nitrate.
Potential side effects include gastrointestinal irritation if pets ingest the shampoo during application. Animals may also experience eye irritation and respiratory tract irritation if the product gets in their eyes. Skin irritation can develop at the application site in some animals.
Difficulty breathing can happen if animals inhale significant amounts of the shampoo or have an allergic reaction. Severe gastrointestinal upset may develop if large amounts of the product are consumed. Pet owners should contact their veterinarian immediately if their animal shows signs of serious allergic reactions, persistent vomiting, or breathing problems after using Malaseb shampoo.
