GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo 250ml

GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo 250ml is a medicated cleansing shampoo developed for dogs, cats and horses with itchy, irritated or problem skin. It combines cleansing ingredients with lanolin derivatives, vitamin E and skin moisturisers, making it suitable for routine washing as well as part of the management of a range of dermatological conditions.

The shampoo is intended to cleanse the coat and skin while helping provide a more comfortable environment for animals affected by conditions such as pyoderma, seborrhoea, allergic skin disease and certain parasitic or fungal skin problems.

When can GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo be used?

Published product information lists the shampoo for use as part of the treatment or management of several common dermatological conditions in dogs, cats and horses.

• Acute superficial pyoderma
• Chronic deep pyoderma
• Allergic skin disease with secondary Malassezia involvement
• Allergic skin disease with secondary Staphylococcus pyoderma
• Primary seborrhoea
• Secondary seborrhoea
• Demodectic mange
• Sarcoptic mange
• Adjunctive therapy for dermatophytosis
• Routine cleansing of animals with problem or itchy skin

Conditions such as deep pyoderma, mange and dermatophytosis can require additional veterinary treatment. A medicated shampoo can form part of the management plan, but it should not replace veterinary diagnosis where an animal has persistent, severe or recurring skin disease.

Composition

GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo 250ml is formulated in a soap base containing:

• Lanolin derivatives
• Vitamin E
• Skin moisturisers
• Chlorodiphenylcarbamidediphenylether
• Bromonitrotrimethyleneglycol

The moisturising components help make the formulation more suitable for animals whose skin may already be dry, irritated or compromised by an underlying dermatological condition.

Pyoderma and secondary skin infections

Pyoderma refers to bacterial infection of the skin and may occur superficially or extend more deeply into the skin tissues. Allergic skin disease can also damage the normal skin barrier, creating conditions in which organisms such as Staphylococcus and Malassezia can become more prominent.

GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo can be incorporated into the bathing programme recommended for these animals to help cleanse the skin and remove debris, oils and material associated with the affected coat.

Deep, recurrent or widespread skin infections should be assessed by a veterinarian, particularly where there is hair loss, discharge, crusting, pain or a strong odour.

Seborrhoea and flaky skin

The shampoo may also be used for animals affected by primary or secondary seborrhoea. Seborrhoeic skin may appear greasy, flaky or scaly and can sometimes develop an unpleasant smell.

Regular appropriate cleansing can help remove excessive surface material while the moisturising ingredients assist with skin comfort. Secondary seborrhoea can have an underlying cause, so veterinary assessment may be needed if the condition keeps returning.

Use with mange and dermatophytosis treatment

GE Barrier Medicated Shampoo 250ml is also listed for use in animals affected by demodectic or sarcoptic mange and as an adjunctive treatment for dermatophytosis.

These conditions usually require more than shampoo alone. Mange requires appropriate parasite treatment, while dermatophytosis, commonly referred to as ringworm, may require topical or systemic antifungal therapy depending on the animal and severity of infection.

Directions for use

1. Wet the animal thoroughly with warm water.
2. Apply sufficient shampoo to the coat.
3. Massage gently through the coat and work into a lather.
4. Ensure the affected skin is properly cleansed.
5. Rinse the shampoo off thoroughly with clean water.

For external use only.

When the shampoo is being used for a diagnosed skin condition, follow the bathing frequency recommended by your veterinarian. Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas.

Suitable for

• Dogs
• Cats
• Horses

This makes Barrier particularly useful in multi-animal homes, kennels, stables and other environments where a versatile medicated shampoo is required for more than one species.
