Clinical Indications

Directions for Use & Bathing Guide

1. Rinse: Thoroughly wet your pet's entire coat with clean, lukewarm water.

2. Apply & Lather: Pour an adequate amount of Nuforce NF shampoo along the spine, neck, and underbelly. Massage gently into the skin to produce a rich, cleansing lather, paying special attention to infected areas, paws, and skin folds.

3. Contact Time (Crucial Step): Leave the lather on the coat for 5 to 10 minutes before washing off. This contact window is critical for Ketoconazole and Chlorhexidine to eradicate micro-organisms effectively.

4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the coat completely with lukewarm water until all traces of foam are gone.

5. Dry: Gently towel dry or blow-dry using a low/cool heat setting.

6. Frequency: Use 2 to 3 times per week during active infections for 2–4 weeks, or reduce to once weekly for ongoing preventative maintenance as directed by your vet.
