What is a Generic Drug?

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.

Description

MediDerm Gentle Medicated Shampoo is used in dogs with skin problems caused by bacteria and yeast. It contains piroctone olamine to help manage infections while reducing itch, flaking, and excess oil. The sulfate-free formula cleans gently without stripping natural oils, and added moisturizers help keep the skin and coat healthy. It can be helpful for conditions such as seborrhea and bacterial skin infections.

Directions

For the best results, follow these steps when using MediDerm Gentle Medicated Shampoo:

  • Wet the dog’s coat thoroughly with warm water
  • Apply the shampoo and work into a gentle lather, focusing on problem areas
  • Massage into the skin for several minutes
  • Leave the lather on for 5–10 minutes before rinsing
  • Rinse well until no residue remains
  • Repeat 2–3 times per week or as directed by your veterinarian

It may be recommended to consult a vet before use.

Side Effects

More serious side effects can occur but are uncommon. Severe allergic reactions may include persistent redness, swelling, or worsening skin conditions.
