What Isaderm Gel Is

Isaderm Gel for Dogs is a veterinary prescription topical medicine that combines an antibiotic (fusidic acid) and a corticosteroid (betamethasone) in a gel base. It is licensed for dogs to treat acute moist dermatitis (wet eczema) and intertrigo (skin-fold dermatitis).

When Vets Use Isaderm Gel

Your vet will prescribe Isaderm Gel for dogs that:

• Show signs of skin infection with redness, moist oozing, crusting (wet eczema).

• Have skin-fold dermatitis (intertrigo) in areas like under belly, armpits or facial folds.

• Require a targeted topical therapy to address both bacterial infection and inflammation.

Because it contains both an antimicrobial and a steroid, it addresses the infection and reduces itch and inflammation concurrently.

How it Works

• The fusidic acid component targets Staphylococcus species bacteria commonly causing skin infections.

• The betamethasone component reduces inflammation, redness and itching by its glucocorticoid action.
  Applied topically in a thin layer, the gel penetrates local lesions and helps resolve symptoms faster when used as directed.

Dosage & Administration

• Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application.

• Apply a thin layer of Isaderm Gel to the lesion twice daily, or as directed by your veterinarian.

• Prevent your dog from licking the area for at least a short period after application — use an Elizabethan collar if needed.

• Continue treatment for the full duration your vet prescribes, even if the area seems improved early.

Precautions & Warnings

• For dogs only; not licensed for cats.

• Do not use in cases of deep or generalized pyoderma, fungal or viral skin infections.

• Avoid application to eyes or mucous membranes.

• Because it contains a systemic-acting steroid, avoid use over large body surface areas for prolonged periods.

• Storage: Store according to label instructions; keep out of reach of children and other animals.

• Prevent inadvertent contact with human skin or eyes since the steroid may cause effects in humans.
