Mal-A-Ket & TrizUltra + keto Introduction
DermaPet will NEVER send an attachment. Although we are relatively
sure we are not infected right now, realistic experience tells us to err on
the side of caution, so do not open an email from dermapet@aol.com
if there is an attachment.

Mal-A-Ket & TrizUltra + keto Introduction
Ketoconazole has been used to extend the MalAcetic line making Mal-A-Ket Shampoo,
a 2% Acetic Acid, 2% Chlorhexidine and 1% ketoconazole clear, elegant and pleasant
smelling shampoo. This product has mixed microbial efficacy and should be helpful
in your Malassezia, dermatophyte (and other cutaneous fungal orders), Staphylococcus
and other microbial associated cutaneous disorders. It has excellent coat conditioning,
degreasing and deodorizing qualities.
TrizULTRA uses Ketoconazole to extend our patented TrizEDTA line by adding .15%
ketoconazole. This broad spectrum product is designed to benefit those cases
where Malassezia otitis co-exists or is associated with bacterial ear disease.
This product is low viscosity, totally soluble and in solution to better access
difficult areas of infection. It combines the best topical antifungal with the
best topical and ONLY PATENTED antibacterial, TrizEDTA. Of course, our MalAcetic
Otic line is still the best approach towards Malassezia otitis with or without
associated bacterial cocci involvement.
TrizPLUS with .15% chlorhexidine is available for your difficult bacterial cases,
combining the gram negative merits of TrizEDTA with the gram positive effects
of chlorhexidine.

Last month we showed how our LIME PLUS Dip has 29% more lime sulfur than the new LymDip. The new LymDip is a much weaker formula that has not survived the test of time (neither for efficacy or stability). Despite their citing literature, there is not one refereed publication supporting the use of this substantially diluted product. There also is reason to believe that fragrances used in this product (the addition of which required the dilution from a 97.8% like LimePlus to 76.9% in LymDip) will cause contact irritation/dermatitis.
The LimePlus Dip formula, like all DermaPet products, offers the desired ingredient, undiluted lime sulfur, packaged at an FDA inspected facility under strict cGMP regulations.
Since Lime Plus Dip contains 98% lime sulfur and the "new" LymDip only 76.9%, several questions beg asking:
1) What exactly has been substituted for the effective ingredient?
2) Could the missing 21% be fragrance or alcohol or some unknown heretofore non-functional (except for marketing) excipient?
3) What function could these substitute ingredients possess?
4) Will testimonials of efficacy from "allied experts" convince vets that DECADES of previously refereed papers were wrong about the effective concentration?
5) Will the "new product" be marketed using the same name, not stressing to vet customers the significant change in concentration?
