Hexadene

Pet Medicated Shampoo and Chlorhexidine Flush

Hexadene Shampoo and Flush are medicated products for the treatment of an array of bacterial and fungal skin infections and other skin conditions that benefit from topical application of antiseptic medication. They are designed for slow-release treatment and to bolster surface protection against bacteria and fungi. Hexadene Flush contains the same active ingredients as the shampoo with the addition of a second antiseptic for increased effects.

Hexadene Shampoo and Hexadene Flush are topical antiseptic cleansers and deodorizers that treat a variety of bacterial and fungal skin infections. The shampoo provides a full-body cleanse and is for use on cats and dogs; the flush, which imparts a pleasant floral fragrance, is used on cats, dogs, and horses. In addition, these products contain ingredients that slowly release the antiseptic medications for long-term effects and that form a protective film over the skin and coat for superior protection.
