WHAT IS ALLERMYL®
Virbac's ALLERMYL® is a specially formulated, pH-balanced shampoo enriched with Skin Lipid Complex and patented technologies to support topical dermatological management of atopic dermatitis and other allergic skin diseases.
It helps restore the epidermal barrier, reduce irritation, and maintain a healthy skin environment.
Understanding Atopic Dermatitis (Educational Section)
topic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory allergic skin disease commonly seen in pets. It is characterized by:
Persistent itching (pruritus)
Redness and inflammation
Recurrent infections
Epidermal barrier damage
When the skin barrier is weakened, it allows allergens, irritants, and microbes to penetrate more easily—worsening symptoms and triggering flare-ups.
Topical dermatological management, including medicated shampoos like ALLERMYL®, plays a key role in
Removing allergens from the skin surface
Supporting epidermal lipid restoration
Improving skin hydration
Helping maintain long-term control of chronic skin conditions
