How does Micro-Tek compare to chlorhexidine?
1039782
I do not know what chlorhexidine is either, but with the very first use of Micro-Tek Medicated shampoo both my Yorkies were much improved and as the other answer below...the change in diet along with the shampoo has almost resolved all our problems. I would ask your vet about the chlorhexidine and how effective and/or harmful it would be to your beloved pet. You did not state what type of condition you are dealing with either.

I have found micro tek very safe and no side effects to your pet. Chlorhexidine can cause deafness in cats dont know about dogs, and in my opinion should only be used to help clean your pets wound not as a entire body application as micro tek.

i have never tried chlorhexidine....but i will say that micro-tek has really helped my dog.....he has suffered from a severe yeast infection....and with bathing him once a week with micro-tek and change of diet he is much improved..told my vet about the shampoo and she told me it has been what she has used on her pets....most important is to leave the shampoo on the animal for about 5 minutes before rinsing.......all the lesions on our dog are healing nicely......thank you micro-tek for an excellent product.....i ran out of it one time..and bought another anti-fungal shampoo......never again....our dogs skin and coat got very dry....got back online for our micro-tek.....our dog is happy and so are we ...hope this has helped

As listed on the bottle, the ingredients are: "0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate, 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride, and zinc in a soothing alcohol-free vehicle. Chlorhexidine is present in free and encapsulated form."I am not sure I understand the question about the amount per serving. However, I can tell you that I have two small dogs and apply two generous squeezes (one each side) per dog. The hole in the applicator is very small so an 8 oz. bottle will last about a year.One of my dogs will absolutely not allow me to brush her teeth. Therefore, I am very pleased with the product and know that it helps keeps my dogs' teeth clean and healthy.

Carbamide Peroxide. I use the 35% strength but you must be careful not to leave it on your teeth too long or it may make your teeth overly sensitive. It could also "burn" your gums if left on too long. I leave it on about 20 minutes and wash out - then repeat in about one hour for another 20 minutes. It works extremely well but you MUST watch the timing carefully. The 20% strength is just less "caustic" to your teeth and gums. I had to use the 20% strength longer and for more sessions to get preferred results. This is a great product if used carefully. My dentist sold me my first syringes of the 35% strength. ($25 for two tubes). $15 for four tubes from green dot sales is a great deal. Hope this info helps.

I have purchased both and they both work well in my flosser. I see no difference. If you are in doubt you can go to the Philips Website and see what they recommend for your model.

In my opinion, those work better than the 2 hour strips. They do about the same whitening, it's just that you don't have to go through having them in your mouth for 2 hours

I have used both and there appears to be no difference. I will continue to use this product as I said, it does help.

Yes, if you dilute it down to the correct percentage (0.12% is common for dental use, although one product uses 0.5%). It may stain your teeth, though, as some chlorhexidine mouthwashes do; to reduce chances of staining, brush teeth thoroughly before using the mouthwash. The chlorhexidine gluconate is not bitter and does not sting my (unusually sensitive) eyes [was using it on itchy scalp and got it in my eyes]. May have some perfume in it, my gallons (from Vedco) do, but not that big a deal. Good Luck!

Cannot compare to Oral B but can say the UV sanitizer works. Have used that type of device for regular brushes for years

I've used several brands and can't tell any difference. Just for the fun of it, I set the heat to the lowest setting and sealed a zip loc sandwich bag. I've not had any second thoughts about this purchase. I've been through several lower priced sealers and wish I had started with this one.

I would go with the target mins. The form of zinc (gluconate) in the chelated form has low bioavailability, while the mixed forms in the target mins, especially citrate and picolinate, are more absorbable.

The Chlorhexidine (orange) is an antiseptic shampoo used primarily for skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi (yeast). Chlorhexidine is a bactericide; at low concentrations it is used at a bacteriostat (stops bacteria from reproducing, while not necessarily killing them). It is active against gram-positive and gram-negative organisms such as Staph, Strep, E. coli, Listeria and yeast. The Calm (pink) shampoo is used primary for itching and moisturizing and can control inflammation.

Both are wonderful products. However Malasab is more of a treatment shampoo, while Micro-Tek is more of a soothing preventative of sorts. Honestly they are both worth having. Hope this helps.

They're chemically different but both are still acids! I'm only experienced with TCA though but it does the job. Amazing stuff! i've only had two entire-face peels with the 15% and it's the bomb. I've used the 100% w/ toothpick method for precision targeting as well for huge effect.

Yes...I told my dentist about Redmond clay toothpaste. He likened it to silica they use in standard. He had to agree it was working for me because my teeth are whiter and less cavities. Clay is wonderful and Redmond company is amazing. Clay can be drying so I switch it up with diff types of homemade toothpastes.

Don't know I've never tried the micro-pedi man. I'm truly impressed with this product though

The active ingredients is 0.1% Chlorhexidine gluconate (more info about this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorhexidine, it is used in many human products). Other ingredients are water, glycerin, polysorbate80, peppermint flavor, carmine color

I think it is better than Phisohex. I use it the first ten days of every month per doctors order. Way cheaper purchasing in large gallon
