Isaderm is a topical treatment for superficial pyoderma in dogs, containing fusidic acid, carbomer gel and betamethasone.
Fusidic acid is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic effective against the most common bacteria found in canine pyoderma.
Its narrow spectrum allows it to act against specific species and does not generate resistance in other pathogens due to restricted selection pressure.
Due to its unique mechanism of action, fusidic acid has little cross-resistance with other antibiotics.
Fusidic acid remains active in pus and is licensed for twice-daily dosing, making it easy for clients to comply with the treatment regimen.
Its vehicle, carbomer gel, mixes with exudates and sticks to wet lesions, making it easy to apply.
Betamethasone has anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects to relieve the discomfort caused by the infection and inflammation.
