Isaderm for Dogs
Isaderm for Dogs is a topical gel used to treat localised bacterial skin infections and inflammatory skin conditions. It is commonly prescribed for surface pyoderma, including acute moist dermatitis and intertrigo. These conditions often cause redness, soreness, discharge and persistent irritation, particularly in areas where the skin is damaged or folded.
Isaderm is applied directly to the affected area, allowing targeted treatment where it is needed. This makes it suitable for dogs with small, defined patches of inflamed or infected skin rather than widespread disease.
How Isaderm Works
Isaderm contains two active components that work together to manage infection and inflammation at the skin surface. One component is an antibiotic that acts against susceptible bacteria commonly involved in canine skin infections. By limiting bacterial growth, it helps reduce infection and supports the skin’s ability to recover.
The second component is a corticosteroid. This reduces inflammation by suppressing the local immune response in the skin. In inflamed skin, blood vessels become dilated and fluid leaks into surrounding tissues, causing redness, swelling and discomfort. The anti-inflammatory action helps calm this response, reducing heat, itching and soreness.
When used as directed, Isaderm helps control infection while also relieving inflammation. This combination is particularly useful where bacterial infection and irritation occur together, which is common in dermatitis and intertrigo.

Dermatitis in Dogs
Dermatitis is a general term that refers to inflammation of the skin. In dogs, it can have many causes, including allergies, parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, moisture, friction and underlying health conditions. The skin may appear red, thickened, scaly or weepy, and affected dogs often scratch or lick persistently.
When the skin barrier is damaged, bacteria that normally live on the skin can multiply and cause secondary infection. This can worsen inflammation and delay healing. In these cases, topical treatment aimed at both bacteria and inflammation may be appropriate.
Localised dermatitis is often seen on areas such as the neck, limbs, abdomen and around wounds or abrasions. Early management can help prevent progression to more severe or widespread disease.
Intertrigo in Dogs
Intertrigo, also known as skin fold dermatitis, occurs when skin folds trap moisture, heat and debris. This creates an environment that encourages bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. Dogs with facial folds, tail folds or folds around the lips, neck or groin are particularly prone.
Affected skin may become red, sore and malodorous. Discharge and thickening of the skin can develop if the condition is not controlled. Friction between skin surfaces further contributes to irritation and breakdown of the skin barrier.
Management of intertrigo often involves keeping the area clean and dry, alongside targeted treatment to control infection and inflammation. Topical gels such as Isaderm can be useful for treating active flare-ups in specific areas.
Using Isaderm in Skin Conditions
Isaderm is designed for short-term use on clearly defined areas of affected skin. It is typically applied once or twice daily, depending on veterinary advice. The skin should be gently cleaned and dried before application to ensure effective contact with the affected area.
Because Isaderm contains a corticosteroid, prolonged or excessive use is not advised unless specifically directed. Reducing inflammation quickly can help break the cycle of itching and self-trauma, which supports healing of the skin.
Dogs should be monitored during treatment to ensure the area improves and that licking does not interfere with application. If signs worsen or fail to improve, further veterinary assessment may be required.
Topical treatment is often part of a wider approach to managing skin disease. Regular cleansing with appropriate medicated shampoos, control of underlying allergies and maintaining good skin hygiene can all play a role in reducing recurrence.
For dogs prone to recurrent dermatitis or intertrigo, ongoing skin care routines and early intervention at the first sign of irritation can help limit flare-ups and discomfort.

16mg Apoquel for Dogs - Single Tablet
16mg Apoquel for dogs is a prescription medication that is used to treat a variety of skin conditions in dogs. Apoquel works by blocking the signals that cause itching and inflammation, providing relief from symptoms associated with acute and chronic canine pruritus.
Canine pruritus (itchiness) is a condition that causes itching and inflammation of the skin in dogs. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, fleas, mites, and bacterial infections. Acute pruritus is a sudden onset of itching, while chronic pruritus is a more persistent form of itching that lasts for an extended period. Both types of pruritus can be debilitating for dogs, causing discomfort, pain, and even skin infections.
16mg Apoquel for dogs works by inhibiting the production of cytokines, which are molecules that contribute to inflammation and itching. By blocking these signals, Apoquel helps to reduce inflammation and provide relief from itching. Unlike other medications that suppress the immune system, Apoquel targets only the cells involved in the inflammatory response, minimizing the risk of side effects.
