Mycocide Antifungal Shampoo review: medicated 150ml

Mycocide is a 150ml medicated shampoo for dogs and cats that pairs miconazole (antifungal) with chlorhexidine (antibacterial) to fight fungal and bacterial skin trouble like ringworm. Around ₱370, it’s our pick for a vet-style wash at home, rated 4.9 with 10,000+ sold.

What does it do?

The two actives team up: miconazole kills the fungus behind ringworm and yeast flare-ups, and chlorhexidine handles skin bacteria. The usual routine is to lather, leave it on about 10 minutes so it can work, then rinse, often twice a week until the skin clears. That leave-on time is the part people skip, and it’s the part that matters: the actives need contact time to do their job, so a quick rinse-off does little.

How do you use it?

Wet the coat fully, work the shampoo into a lather down to the skin (not just the top of the fur) and give the medicine those 10 minutes before rinsing well. For spot problems, a small amount covers the affected patch and a margin around it, so a 150ml bottle stretches across weeks of twice-weekly washes. Between baths, keep the area dry and clean, since fungus and yeast thrive in damp fur. Give any medicated wash a few weeks before judging results, and go back to your vet if the skin worsens.

Is it safe to use?

It’s a common vet-recommended combo, but it’s medicine, not grooming. Keep it out of eyes and ears and rinse fully. Consult your vet to confirm it’s a fungal issue first and to get the right routine, especially for cats and puppies.

Is it worth it?

Around ₱370 as of July 12, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Pricier than a plain shampoo, but fair for a proven medicated wash, and 150ml lasts, since you use it just twice a week.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your vet has flagged ringworm, yeast, or a bacterial skin problem and you want an effective medicated wash. It’s not for routine bathing of healthy pets.
