The F10® Germicidal Treatment Shampoo is used for treating yeast (Malasseziasis) and

fungal conditions, such as ringworm. It helps to control superficial bacterial infections.

Composition Quaternary ammonium and biguanide compound 0,44g/100g

Cypermethrin 0,25%/100g Indications Skin conditions of bacterial, fungal or viral

origin in dogs, horses, goat, cattle, sheep and small exotics (not for use on domestic

felines) This dermatological preparation can be used as a skin treatment where insects

are a concern or where fly strike is likely to occur for example; Pyoderma Moist

excema (“hot spots”) Ringworm Malasseziasis Conditions that cause the fur and

skin to become wet and contaminated such as diarrhea, incontinence Antimicrobial

Action The antimicrobial action of the preparation is based upon the proprietary

branded F10 compound. The mechanism of action of F10 is derived from those of

each component taken separately, in addition to those due to the additive synergistic

action of all components combined. At the concentrations in the product F10 has

been assessed as giving a > logs reduction in microbial counts against gram positive

and gram negative bacteria; fungi, yeasts and moulds; enveloped and non-enveloped

viruses; bacterial and fungal spores. The group of keratinophylic fungi is very large,

but only two genera, known as dermatophytes, are known to cause disease

(“ringworm”) in animals. Insecticidal Action The insecticidal action is based upon

cypermethrin (a pyrethroid) and aided by piperonyl butoxide. In the testing phases the

indicator species used was Lucille cuprina, a commonly occurring blow fly species. As

soon as the larvae were sprayed they immediately began to migrate from the test site

and within 30 minutes were dead. Other tests on L. cuprina eggs resulted in a 100%

kill. The product was equally effective against adult flies and showed a 77% kill in 15

minutes rising to 100% within 30 minutes. Cypermethrin is a broad spectrum

insecticide and is effective against other insects, e.g.

biting flies, fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks.
