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

    Malaseb shampoo is a topical antibacterial and antifungal shampoo for dogs and cats. In dogs, this prescription medication is used to treat seborrheic dermatitis when linked to Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and/or Malassezia pachydermatis infections. In cats, it’s used alongside antifungal medications to address and control dermatophytosis (ringworm) infections caused by Microsporum canis. Malaseb shampoo for dogs and cats works by killing yeast, fungi, and bacteria. It also helps calm irritated skin and supports healing by cleaning and removing excess oils and debris. Treatment with Malaseb shampoo also helps prevent recurring skin infections.

    Directions

    You can buy Malaseb shampoo for dogs and cats in 250 ml and 500 ml bottles. Only use it as directed by your veterinarian. The dosage depends on whether you’re treating a dog or a cat.

    Dogs:

    Dogs should be treated with 1.5 mL per kg of body weight. For example, this means that approximately 50 mL of Malaseb dog shampoo is needed for a 35 kg dog with medium-length hair. The treatment should be repeated twice weekly for 3 weeks, then weekly for up to 10 weeks. Symptoms should improve noticeably after 2 to 3 weeks of treatment. If this isn’t the case, your veterinarian may need to reevaluate the diagnosis.

    Cats:

    Treat an adult cat with approximately 10 mL of Malaseb shampoo twice weekly for at least 3 weeks until the fungal infection has cleared.

    If symptoms do not improve within 3 weeks or if skin irritation develops, discontinue treatment and consult a veterinarian. If necessary, Malaseb may be used for up to 9 consecutive weeks. Other cats that were in contact with the animal should also be treated with this shampoo. This limits the spread of infection and environmental contamination.

    Malaseb dog and cat shampoo should be used as follows:

    1. Wet your pet's fur with clean water.
    2. Apply the shampoo on several areas of their coat.
    3. Massage Malaseb into the coat using a sponge and rubber gloves.
    4. Most importantly, apply around the nose, on the muzzle and chin, under the tail, and between the toes.
    5. Leave the shampoo on the animal for 10 minutes.
    6. Rinse off thoroughly with clean water.
    7. Wash your hands after use.

    Ingredients

    Active ingredients per liter: 20 g chlorhexidine gluconate and 20 g miconazole nitrate.

    Contraindications

    Do not use this shampoo on rabbits or species other than dogs or cats.

    Cautions

    • Only use Malaseb externally.
    • The safety of this medication in pregnant, lactating, or breeding pets, has not been established.
    • Avoid contact with your pet’s eyes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water if contact occurs. Seek veterinary advice if you notice eye irritation or discharge in your pet.
    • Do not leave your pet unattended while the shampoo is on their coat. Licking or inhaling shampoo foam may irritate the digestive or respiratory systems.
    • Erythema caused by a potential hypersensitivity to Malassezia IgE or toxins may occur in atopic or allergic dogs.
    • Keep out of reach of children and avoid contact with your eyes and skin to prevent irritation.

    Side Effects

    Common but manageable side effects include dry or flaky skin, mild redness or skin irritation, temporary itching, or a dry or dull coat. Although relatively rare, serious side effects may also occur, including severe skin irritation or inflammation, severe allergic reactions, severe irritation on very sensitive or broken skin, and eye irritation.

    This is not a complete list of all possible side effects of Malaseb. If you notice persistent or severe side effects in your pet from Malaseb, contact your veterinarian immediately.
