DVM Pharmaceuticals is recalling approximately 4,761 units of its ChlorhexiDerm Shampoo (4% Chlorhexidine) across various sizes, including 8 oz, 12 oz, and one-gallon plastic bottles. The recall was initiated because stability testing showed the shampoo may be subpotent, meaning it contains less of the active ingredient than the label claims. This decrease in potency may make the product less effective at treating the conditions for which it was prescribed or purchased.
A subpotent shampoo may fail to properly treat skin conditions in pets, potentially allowing underlying infections or irritations to persist or worsen because the active ingredient, Chlorhexidine, is below the required strength.
