AKODIN Medicated Shampoo is a veterinary dermatological shampoo formulated with Miconazole Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate for topical cleansing and management of skin conditions responsive to antifungal and antibacterial therapy in animals.

For veterinary use only. For external/topical use. Use under veterinary guidance.

AKODIN is a medicated veterinary shampoo designed for topical skin and coat care in dogs, cats and horses.

Its combination of Miconazole Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate provides complementary antifungal and antibacterial activity. Miconazole is an antifungal agent used against susceptible fungi and yeasts, while chlorhexidine provides broad-spectrum antibacterial cleansing activity.

Veterinary shampoos containing this combination are commonly used as part of dermatological management for conditions associated with fungal, yeast and bacterial organisms. Comparable veterinary labels describe these formulations for skin conditions responsive to miconazole and/or chlorhexidine.

AKODIN can help remove dirt, excess oil, scales and microorganisms from the skin and coat while supporting a clean and healthy-looking coat.

Important: Skin infections can have many causes. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment should be determined by a qualified veterinarian.

Active Ingredients

Miconazole Nitrate

Miconazole Nitrate is an antifungal agent used in veterinary dermatological preparations to help manage susceptible fungal and yeast organisms.

It is particularly relevant in veterinary skin-care formulations for conditions involving yeast such as Malassezia and other susceptible fungi.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate

Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antibacterial antiseptic used in veterinary topical preparations to help cleanse the skin and control susceptible bacteria.

Important Composition Note

Enter the exact concentration shown on the AKODIN product label.

If your actual AKODIN packaging states:

Miconazole Nitrate – 2% w/v + Chlorhexidine Gluconate – 2% w/v

then the website composition can be written as:

Miconazole Nitrate 2% w/v + Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% w/v

This concentration is found in several veterinary shampoos with the same active-ingredient combination, but it should not be assumed for AKODIN without confirming its own label.

What Is AKODIN Shampoo Used For?

AKODIN may be used as part of veterinary management of skin conditions associated with organisms susceptible to Miconazole Nitrate and Chlorhexidine Gluconate.

Potential veterinary applications include:

• Fungal skin conditions
• Yeast-associated dermatitis
• Bacterial skin conditions
• Microbial skin overgrowth
• Greasy or oily skin associated with dermatological conditions
• Scaling and flaky skin associated with infection
• Unpleasant skin or coat odour associated with microbial overgrowth

Do not claim that AKODIN cures every type of skin infection. The underlying cause of itching, redness, hair loss or dermatitis should be diagnosed by a veterinarian.

How Does AKODIN Work?

Miconazole Nitrate

Miconazole acts against susceptible fungi and yeasts by interfering with fungal cell-membrane function.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate

Chlorhexidine provides antibacterial activity and helps reduce susceptible microorganisms on the skin.

Together, these ingredients provide antifungal + antibacterial topical cleansing support.

Suitable Animals

AKODIN is intended for:

🐕 Dogs
🐈 Cats
🐎 Horses

Use in puppies, kittens, foals, pregnant animals or animals with significant skin disease should be discussed with a veterinarian before use.

Directions for Use

Use according to the AKODIN product label or the instructions provided by your veterinarian.

A typical application process for comparable miconazole/chlorhexidine veterinary shampoos is:

1. Thoroughly wet the animal’s coat with clean water.
2. Apply an adequate quantity of medicated shampoo.
3. Massage gently over the coat and skin to produce a good lather.
4. Ensure the shampoo reaches the affected skin areas.
5. Allow the recommended contact time according to the product label/veterinarian’s instructions.
6. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
7. Repeat according to the prescribed treatment schedule.

Comparable veterinary labels commonly specify approximately 5–10 minutes of contact time, but the exact contact time and frequency should follow the AKODIN label, not a different product’s directions.

Important Precautions

• For veterinary use only.
• For external/topical use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Avoid contact with mucous membranes.
• Do not allow the animal to ingest the shampoo.
• Prevent licking during bathing as much as practical.
• Wash hands after application.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use on animals with known sensitivity to any ingredient.
• If significant irritation, redness or worsening of the skin condition occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian.
• Use according to veterinary advice for animals with severe, recurrent or extensive skin disease.

Veterinary labels for comparable miconazole/chlorhexidine shampoos specifically warn against eye/mucous-membrane contact and recommend veterinary consultation if irritation develops.

Storage

Store according to the storage instructions printed on the AKODIN packaging.

Keep the container tightly closed and protect it from unsuitable temperatures, excessive heat and direct sunlight where specified by the manufacturer.

Do not publish a specific storage temperature unless it is confirmed on the AKODIN label/package insert.
