What is Isaderm?
Isaderm gel is used for the treatment of bacterial skin infections in dogs. It comes in 15g or 30g tubes.
The white translucent gel can treat skin conditions like dermatitis, or ‘hot spots’, or skin fold dermatitis also known as intertrigo. It is for topical use.
Bacterial skin infections in dogs occur for a number of reasons and can worsen as the dog takes to scratching its skin in the affected area. This can have the effect of exacerbating the discomfort. The infections sometimes happen when the skin's natural defenses break down, allowing a growth of bacteria to cover the skin.
How does Isaderm work?
One of the active ingredients is an antibiotic, Fusidic acid, which acts by prohibiting the protein synthesis of bacteria. The other is Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, which can help to reduce the itching, swelling and red skin that are common in these sorts of conditions.
The gel should be administered in a thin layer on the affected area. It may be necessary for your dog to wear an Elizabethan collar to stop it scratching.
Instructions for Isaderm
As soon as you receive and open the medication, it is vital that you read and understand the written instructions. This is especially important when checking the recommended dose.
The gel is solely for topical use on the dog’s skin only and should not be used in any other way or for any other reason. It is important that the recommended dosage is the one as directed by your vet.
