Douxo S3 PYO is positioned as a best-in-class medicated shampoo for bacterial skin infections thanks to its veterinarian-formulated antibacterial base combined with Ophytrium, a patented botanical skin-soothing complex that helps restore barrier function. It commands a premium but justifiable price for clinics because of its targeted efficacy against pyoderma and its support data, making it technically superior to general antiseptic products on this list while offering a more skin-restorative approach than older broad-spectrum shampoos.
