Curaseb Chlorhexidine 4% Shampoo
Curaseb delivers a higher-strength chlorhexidine formulation (4%) aimed at aggressive bacterial control and rapid reduction of microbial burden in severe or recalcitrant infections. Its technical advantage is concentrated antiseptic power—often used in short, intensive therapeutic courses—and it generally offers a more forceful option than milder barrier-restorative or enzymatic shampoos, though it can be harsher on fragile skin and is best selected when strong antimicrobial action is the primary goal.

Technically it offers stronger topical antimicrobial potency than plain hydrogels and—while it can be more expensive per tube than basic antiseptics—its dual-action formula can reduce the need for multiple separate products in a treatment plan.
