How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Doxepin HCl 0.5% and Naltrexone HCl 0.1% in a topical gel form is specifically designed for veterinary use. It is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions in animals, including Atopic Dermatitis, Pruritus, Alopecia, Pyoderma, and Acral Lick Granuloma.

The combination of these two active ingredients in this formulation synergistically works to provide targeted treatment for the affected areas.

The recommended application of this topical gel is twice daily, directly onto the affected area. It is crucial to adhere to the directions provided by your veterinarian and not to exceed the recommended dosage.
