Isaderm gel 15 grams – for acute moist dermatitis

Isaderm gel 15 g is a topical treatment for mild to moderate localized, acute moist dermatitis in dogs, also known as hot spots. It combines betamethasone valerate, which reduces inflammation and itching, with fusidic acid, an antibiotic effective against staphylococci.

What is it for

It relieves itching, inflammation, and infection of sudden, moist lesions on a dog's skin. Betamethasone acts on inflammation and itching, while fusidic acid targets the bacteria that often complicate these lesions.

How it is used

Clean the area and trim any hair covering the wound. Apply a thin film of gel twice a day for at least 5 days, and continue for 2 more days after healing. The treatment should not exceed 7 days. If the dog scratches or licks the area, a protective collar is recommended.

For what animals

For dogs only. Not for use on cats. Use with caution on small dogs and puppies under 12 weeks old.

Composition and presentation

Betamethasone valerate and fusidic acid topical gel. 15 g tube.

Possible Side Effects and Precautions

Topical corticosteroids can thin the skin, cause capillary fragility, and delay healing; hypersensitivity is possible. It is not used for pyoderma, fungal infections, Cushing's disease, extensive or ulcerated lesions, or lesions of parasitic or viral origin. Blood glucose levels should be monitored in diabetic dogs. If you notice anything unusual, consult your veterinarian.
