Understanding Cetrimide: A Trusted Antiseptic with Decades of Use

Cetrimide is a QAC (quaternary ammonium compound). It contains predominantly trimethyltetradecylammonium bromide with minor proportions of related alkyl homologues (a mixture). Cetrimide is listed in the BP & EP and has been used since the 1940s as a cleanser and skin antiseptic product. Its advantage is that it combines good detergent properties with an effective antiseptic and low toxicity when applied topically.

In pharmaceutical references, cetrimide is normally used 0.1-1.0% w/v topically for skin, wound and burn antisepsis. As a 1% w/v strength is at the upper end of the usual topical antiseptic level, this seems a reasonable concentration to make a medicated wash, used as a short rinse.

 What do We Mean by Certified?

 It is a type of compound that is antiseptic. It is very effective in cleaning the skin which has oils and any dirt that is hard to remove with normal shampoos. It has anti-microbial properties that work by killing bacteria, fungi, or any other bacteria or parasite.

FAQs

Q1. What is the purpose of cetrimide in a dog shampoo?

It is a bactericidal (kills bacteria) cationic antiseptic and surfactant. It solubilizes oil, grime and scale while attacking the cells of bacteria and parasites (e.g. Fungi) to loosen and remove them from the skin and coat.

Q2. Can I use Cetrimide 1% w/v Dog Shampoo every day?

Use on a daily basis is not recommended. Medicated baths can dry the skin, so apply only as frequently as your veterinarian recommends, usually once or twice a week during the course of treatment.

Q3. Can this shampoo be used on puppies?

First ask your vet. Extremely tiny puppies' skin is fragile and they are not good at controlling their body temperature so it is best to ask your vet before the first bath how long your puppy can be bathed for and how often.

Q4. If the shampoo gets in your dog's eye, what do you do?

Flush eyes immediately with large quantities of cool, clean water. If redness, squinting or irritation persists, see your veterinarian as soon as possible. Be sure to keep lather out of the ears, eyes and nose.

Q5. Is it compatible with flea or tick medication?

Check with your veterinarian. Bathing may interfere with certain spot-on products, and you should follow the instructions on the flea or tick treatment label. This shampoo is an antiseptic wash, not a parasite treatment.

Q6. How do I store the shampoo?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, with the cap tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children and animals and external use only.
