F10 Germicidal Treatment Shampoo.
Based on F10SC Veterinary Disinfectant, F10 Germicidal Treatment Shampoo is a safe and highly effective product for use on dogs, cats and horses as a skin treatment against bacterial and fungal infections. As such it is an excellent product for treating common conditions and preventing re-infection of pathogens like ringworm (Microsporum and Trichophyton), Staphylococcal bacterial infections and “hot spots”, as well as yeast infections.
Indications:
A dermatological preparation effective against bacteria and fungi as a skin treatment
and to prevent re-infestation in dogs, cats and horses. For example the following
bacterial conditions (Pyotraumatic Dermatitis, Superficial Pyoderma, Skin Fold
Dermatitis), yeast (Malasseziasis) and fungal conditions (Dermatophytosis).
Antimicrobial Action:
The antimicrobial action of the preparation is based upon the proprietary branded F10
compound. The mechanism of action of F10 is derived from those of each component
taken separately, in addition to those due to the additive synergistic action of all
components combined. At the concentrations in the product F10 has been assessed
as giving a >log5 reduction in microbial counts against gram positive and gram
negative bacteria, fungi, yeasts and moulds. The group of keratinophylic fungi is very
large, but only two genera, known as dermatophytes, are known to cause disease
("ringworm") in animals. The genera involved are Microsporum spp, and Trichophyton
spp. F10 Germicidal Treatment Shampoo was found to be effective in a contact time of
at least 15 minutes, however three repeat treatments applied every other day is the
recommended treatment protocol.
